2009 NATIONAL TEACHER OF THE YEAR SELECTED AS GREENWICH HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER (greenwichroundup.blogspot)
(For immediate release: Greenwich, CT – Thursday, March 11, 2010)
Mr. Anthony Mullen – 2009 National Teacher of the Year, 2009 Connecticut State Teacher of the Year, and Greenwich's own 2008 Distinguished Teacher – will be the Commencement Speaker for the Greenwich High School graduating Class of 2010.
The ceremony will be held in June 2010, the specific date will be announced in April 2010. Greenwich High School student and President of the Class of 2010 commented on selecting Mr. Mullen as the Commencement Speaker, "From the start, Mr. Mullen was a logical pick. Not many schools can say that they had the national teacher of the year speak at their graduation. He has a strong connection to Greenwich High School and the Greenwich community and all involved felt he would give a relevant and inspiring address.
We are extremely glad that Mr. Mullen is able to speak at the graduation ceremony and look forward to hearing the wonderful address we are sure he will give." Mr. Mullen is a teacher at the Arch School, an alternative education program for Greenwich High School students.
Throughout the 2009-10 school year, Mr. Mullen has represented the Nation, the State of Connecticut and Greenwich as a full time international spokesman and, in his words, has "been given an amazing opportunity to promote the teaching profession and to speak on behalf of children who are too often marginalized because of emotional or learning disabilities." He speaks at public schools, universities, and State, National and International education conferences on what he describes as his three pillars of success as a teacher – "passion, professionalism and perseverance."
He has spoken before the President of the United States, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and in January 2010, to over 1000 education ministers representing more than 80% of the world's population at the Learning and Technology World Forum in London, England.
