Caught Being Awesome Program Details

Whitman is thrilled to bring back the Caught Being Awesome program where staff members are nominated to win an award presented at an assembly.

Caught Being Awesome
October 2024 Mr. McDermott! 

October’s Caught Being Awesome recognized an individual whose effort to connect with students across the board does not go unnoticed. Their ability to make a warm and welcoming atmosphere at Whitman is appreciated by students, teachers and parents alike. They set a great example for “a relationship first and caring about the whole student body.” This staff member knows students by name, greets them and checks in about something specific TO THEM!

“As a health and Physical Education teacher, this teacher truly cares about students well being both physically and emotionally. They foster positive interactions between students creating an inclusive community minded school environment.“

Cheers to Mr. McDermott, our October Caught Being Awesome winner!
