KSDK – An Oakville High School algebra and calculus teacher won the 2009 Saint Louis Science Center/Carol B. and Jerome T. Loeb Prize for Excellence in Teaching Science and Mathematics.

Tammy Popp was presented with the award at an awards banquet at the Saint Louis Science Center Tuesday morning.
Four other St. Louis area teachers, all finalists for the prize, were recognized as well. Jennifer Fruend, a science teacher at Rohan Woods School, came in second place. Oakville High School physics teacher Stephanie Allen, University City High School biology teacher Julie Ertmann and Washington Middle School math teacher Sandra Turner were also recognized.

Popp and the other finalists received cash prizes, and each nominated teacher’s class was invited to accompany them to the Saint Louis Science Center for the awards ceremony, followed by a private screening of a film in the OMNIMAX® Theater and time to explore the museum.

The Loeb Prize, which rewards teachers who significantly enhance their students’ performances in the areas of science and mathematics, was established in 1996.
