Knights of Columbus honors PACS teacher of the year

Knights of Columbus San Salvador Council #299 honored Perth Amboy Catholic School teacher, Margaret Wilson, as Teacher of the Year at an awards ceremony at Assumption Catholic School, Perth Amboy, on March 16.

Wilson has been teaching at Perth Amboy Catholic School for thirty years. Students in grades one, three, four, and six have benefitted from her commitment, enthusiasm, and faith.

In addition to being committed to providing the best teaching practices in the service of her students, she does not shy away from additional responsibilities. In charge of the school’s pre-care program and serving on numerous committees, Wilson models and cultivates a spirit of service that encourages her students to help others.

In her introduction to Wilson, PACS principal Anacelis Diaz said, “Every school needs a Margaret Wilson. Her dedication to her school family, her vocation for teaching and her passion for her favorite sports teams make her the heart and soul of Perth Amboy Catholic.”

The Knights annually honor individuals who have contributed their gifts and talents to the City of Perth Amboy.
