Levittown Teacher Named an Outstanding Educator Award Winner

Kristen Stritzl, an English teacher at Division Avenue High School in Levittown, was selected as a University of Chicago Outstanding Educator Award winner.

Stritzl was nominated by former student and 2016 valedictorian Jessica Vasseghi upon enrolling in the University of Chicago.

“Our students frequently tell us that they were influenced by a particular high school educator, someone who challenged them intellectually for the first time, opened new vistas and realms of discovery, or channeled their private interests into productive paths for intellectual growths,” explained James G. Nondorf, University of Chicago vice president of enrollment.

Stritzl currently teaches English 9, Advanced Placement Literature, and the district’s new AP Capstone Program.
