December Board of Ed: 2026 Massachusetts Teacher of the Year

Tara Goodhue, who teaches science at Lowell High School
will bring all recognized together in May
hey, she's a Clark alum! And took urban schooling
She's the child of a teacher
knew she wanted to work in a city school district
speaks of being inspired every day by her students, and that they make her laugh every day
"really easy to feel overwhelmed"
"committed to spreading a message of hope"
"we cannot stand frozen as the forest burns"
envisions a fishing derby in Lowell

Member Fisher: I'm biased; I don't think I taught you, but I taught that class at Clark
was reenergized listening to you

Grant: "let's go back to school!"
amplifies her voice and story

Mohamed: find nature anywhere 
"thank you for going outside and taking kids outside"

Rocha: high standards, not high stakes
to hear your sense of humor warms my heart

Craven: "I learned something about lichen that I won't forget today"
