Champlin Park High School
Champlin Park High School (CPHS) Principal Mike George introduced teacher Jamie Shaw, who was named the
3M Economic Educator of the Year in the State of Minnesota. The award recognizes one educator in the state
who demonstrates a sustained history of commitment and contribution to economic education. Judges consid-
ered her leadership in economic education; sustained commitment to economic education; continuing prepara-
tion in economic education; and contributions to students’ intellectual growth in economics as success factors
in presenting the distinction.
Principal George also presented Andre Hardy and Grace Worwa who were named National Merit Scholarship
Semifinalists. The two are among the select group of 16,000 semifinalists nationally who will vie to become
2018 National Merit Scholars and earn one of the 7,500 scholarships of up to $2,500 for college. To become
