Rehoboth Resident Paul Ruhle receives Presidential Teaching Award

Paul Ruhle, Rehoboth resident, was nominated for this award in 2021 and was recently recognized as the recipient. Paul has taught mathematics at Lincoln High School for 21 years. As the high school department chair, Paul not only has the opportunity to teach secondary mathematics classes, but also to work with his amazing colleagues on curriculum, instruction, and assessment.

Over the past several years, Paul's AP Calculus AB and BC classes have consistently achieved outstanding results on the AP exams. Paul has mentored several groups of students in the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Contest. The students have represented the state of Rhode Island three times as the representatives in the national STEM contest.
