Nicholas A. Ferri Middle School
Johnston, RI
Our daughter Stephanie has been teaching for 15 years ,but it didn’t start there ! It all began at age 6 when she wanted me to buy a chalkboard for the basement , I built one for her instead . Her younger sister was her main student ( wait, her only student !!) but many times the classroom was filled with imaginary students. As she grew older her path changed and she majored in computer science in college and upon graduation entered the corporate world. She exceled there but her love for teaching rekindled. She returned to college and earned her Mastres Degree in education and received all her certifications to teach. Her teaching career began in her hometown of Somerset,Ma where she earned the “New Teacher of The Year” award in a very challenging and rewarding position as a special needs teacher. She now is employed by the Johnston School Dept. in another challenging position as a middle school classroom teacher. YES—we are very proud of Stephanie
