Noble Schools has welcomed seven teachers into its Distinguished Teacher (DT) program for the 2024 school year. Distinguished Teacher provides an industry-changing approach to celebrating and rewarding teachers who have an exceptional impact on students. Among other benefits, each Distinguished Teacher will receive an annual $10,000 award for as long as they remain teachers at Noble.
2024’s seven new Distinguished Teachers were: Alyssa Arroyo-Kearney | Noble Street College Prep, Jacqueline Patterson | Gary Comer College Prep, Joshua Sosa | Pritzker College Prep, Laura Merlo Strybel | Noble Street College Prep, Lauren Nelson | Pritzker College Prep, Samantha Siros | Chicago Bulls College Prep, and Sean Smith | Pritzker College Prep.

This was another shoot for our friends at Noble Schools that was similar to the Golden Apple Awards shoot we did in 2014. We somehow did 5 stops in a day to get footage of everyone with only 2 camera operators (Mike Meyer and Myself) and 1 photographer (Christopher Dilts), additional news outlets and entourage followed as well.
Overall, fast-paced and hot – but we got everything we needed and managed to surprise each teacher, which was heartwarming.
