Teresa Hennigan, a fourth-grade teacher at Bay Ridge Catholic Academy, received special recognition from the New York State Senate on May 7 while the Brooklyn school was celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week.
She was presented with the “Educators Inspiring a Generation” award for her 18 years of teaching, which includes many years serving schools within the Diocese of Brooklyn.
In addition to her success in the classroom, Mrs. Hennigan regularly volunteers to organize school assemblies and community-building events that enhance school spirit and student engagement.
She has also contributed to the cultural and creative life of the school by directing several performances for students in grades K through four.
