North Seattle teacher honored with prestigious award | People

Seattle Jewish Community School teacher Beth Huppin is a recipient of The Covenant Foundation's prestigious Covenant Award.

The award honors Jewish educators "doing extraordinary, innovative and impactful work." Huppin will receive $36,000, and her school will receive $5,000.

"Beth is a teacher among teachers," said Head of School Debra J. G. Butler. "She inspires her colleagues, our elementary school students, and the middle and high school students she teaches in supplementary school programs and the many adults she has taught."

Huppin is a 5th grade teacher at the North Seattle school. She will be honored alongside fellow awardees at a November gala in New Orleans.
