PA Art Education Assoc. recognizes Digital Design teacher Amy Migliore
Ms. Migliore, well known as an innovative educator and in demand as a speaker at university conferences, has been an art teacher in QCSD for 19 years.
“This is both validating and humbling,” she said. “Validating because we work in a nonprofit service profession where we invest our time and ideas into students. It’s nice to see it’s appreciated and has made an impact. It’s humbling because you receive these awards only when you’ve been championed and helped by permission granters and people who rally around you.”

Melissa is the school’s lone qualifier and one of only two students from the three Upper Bucks County districts to achieve the exclusive honor, along with Abigail Cozza of Pennridge.
“If someone would have told me that one person from our school would get this, I wouldn’t think it would be me,” Melissa said. “I’m in a state of shock.”
