In his recent monthly e-newsletter celebrating the holidays in 2024, U.S. Senator Angus included a photo of himself meeting with East End Community School teacher Joshua Chard. King wrote: “Our teachers are pivotal in shaping the future of young Maine people all across our state. Thank you to Joshua Chard, the 2024 Maine Teacher of the Year, for the visit and for all his work supporting our students for over 30 years — currently at Portland East End Community School. From the classroom to the drama club, his commitment and dedication to students are exemplary!”
