Ms. Holly Rogers The 2007 Outstanding Conservation Education Teacher of the Year is Ms. Holly Rodgers of Greenville High School. The Piscataquis County Soil and Water Conservation District (PCSWCD) presented this award to Ms. Rodgers at a special school assembly. Each year the PCSWCD recognizes one teacher from a Piscataquis County school for doing an outstanding job with natural resource education.

Ms. Rodgers is a Certified Life and Physical Sciences teacher for grades nine through twelve. She teaches biology, chemistry and electives. Holly has said that "we have the best lab right here", referring to the natural environment and Moosehead Lake. Her "units of instruction highlight both the natural resources of this region and rigorous, meaningful science" according to Principal Rebecca Brown. "In her last four years at Greenville High School she has secured grant money to enable her to conduct fieldwork with her biology students." This type of education is so important. As today's students are tomorrow's community leaders they will be better prepared to make decisions about managing our natural resources.
