Each year, the Florida Council for the Social Studies honors educators across the state at their annual conference. 11th grade US History teacher at Treasure Coast High School, Joe Curatolo, was recognized at the 61st annual conference as the Outstanding High School Social Studies Teacher of the Year for St. Lucie County. Administrators across the district nominated teachers from their schools to be considered for this honor. Mr. Curatolo’s leadership and drive to bring quality lessons to his students made him a great choice for our high school winner.
