What great news! Congrats to Mr. Vriesman and to Kentwood Public Schools.We are very excited to share the news that today East Kentwood High School teacher Matthew Vriesman was named the 2023 National History Teacher of the Year by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. More than 7,000 educators nationwide were nominated for this honor. Matt received word in early August that he was named the Michigan History Teacher of the Year, making him eligible for the national award. The selection committee noted that his teaching “stood out for his exceptional ability to tell the story of American history through the lens of his community.” Matt will be honored in a ceremony next month at the Harvard Club in New York City. Kentwood Public Schools congratulates Matt for this honor and thanks him for his commitment to excellence and equity in education and his service to the students of Kentwood Public Schools. Go Falcons!
