Jessica Vallincourt
Jessica Vallincourt, a ninth- and eleventh-grade English teacher at Fergus High School, recently joined the ranks of teachers throughout the U.S. to have gained National Board Certification. Vallincourt, who finished the vigorous process of earning her NBC, joined nine other teachers in Montana who recently gained their certification.
According to the Montana Professional Teaching Foundation, which administers the program in Montana, the state now has 164 National Board Certified Teachers. Vallincourt is the first teacher in the Lewistown School District to gain her certification.
“Earning National Board Certification is a crowning achievement,” said MPTF Chair Amanda Curtis. “The nine professional educators deserve congratulations for their incredible feat they’ve accomplished. These educators have dedicated their lives to providing their students the best education in America, and Montana families are grateful to them.”
