Recently, a committee of individuals met to discuss the significant number of nominations received  regarding the MTHS Teacher of the Year. Based on much discussion and deliberation amongst the  members of that committee, it is my distinct honor to announce the Montville Township High  School Teacher of the Year for 2020-2021—Mrs. Evangelia (Angela) Kalavrezos. While I can speak  of her tremendous commitment to students and their education, it is the words of her peers that I  feel capture, most effectively, her impact on the MTHS community:
