Melanie Mundell, 2016 Delaware Bio Educator of the Year

When Delaware’s Newark Charter School opened its high school in 2013, Melanie Mundell moved from teaching seventh-grade science to teach biotechnology and start an FFA chapter at the new school. As Melanie and her students embraced both the biotechnology pathway and FFA, the Delaware BioScience Association took note of their success, naming Melanie the state’s Bio Educator of the Year for 2016.
