Carie Tragesser, an elementary teacher in the Hamilton (Ohio) School District and Miami University graduate, was recently named Hamilton’s Educator of the Year. She received a $3,000 honorarium for her school.
Tragesser, who teaches fifth and sixth grade at Ridgeway Elementary, was among 21 teachers nominated for the Hamilton Community Foundation Award.
“She is constantly learning, always seeking new approaches and leading the school down a positive path,” the nomination said. “This terrific educator is also a constant presence at after-school events, whether they be school functions or the extracurricular activities of her students.”
Tragesser, who earned a B.S. degree in education from Miami in 1996, has taught in Hamilton schools since 1998.
