Congratulations to Twin Valley High School Educator, Jennifer Koch, on being selected for a James Madison Memorial Fellowship! Named in honor of the fourth president of the United States and acknowledged as “the Father of the Constitution and Bill of Rights,” a James Madison Fellowship funds up to $24,000 of each Fellow’s course of study towards a Master’s degree.
The James Madison Memorial Fellowship award is intended to recognize promising and distinguished teachers, to strengthen their knowledge of the origins and development of American constitutional government, and thus to expose the nation’s secondary school students to accurate knowledge of the nation’s Constitutional heritage. Jennifer is one of just 53 to earn this prestigious opportunity in the 2024 year.
Jennifer plans to earn her degree through Ashland University in Ohio. Additionally, she will have the opportunity to attend the James Madison Fellowships’ month-long ‘Summer Institute’ at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. during the Summer of 2025.
Jennifer shares, “It is an honor to have been recognized with this Fellowship opportunity, not only for my work in the classroom, but also for my citizenship and extensive volunteer history as a whole. I look forward to bringing all that I learn back to Twin Valley.”
