Enfield Public Schools is pleased to announce that Anthony (Tony) Allegro has been selected as the 2018-19 Enfield Teacher of the Year. Mr. Allegro is a Social Studies teacher at Enfield High School (EHS). Because of this distinction, he will represent Enfield at the state level in the Connecticut Teacher of the Year process.

Mr. Allegro was nominated by Erin Clark, Principal of Enfield High School as well as Joel Senez, Tony’s department coordinator. Mr. Allegro has been recognized for his commitment to his students. He is known for an elevated level of energy and innovation he brings to all facets of his school and community.

During the selection process, the Teacher of the Year Committee recognized his creativity in planning, writing and implementing new curriculum, and the positive and appropriate relationships he establishes with students. Mr. Allegro implemented a new course at Enfield High School called Community Action Learning, where students acted outside of the classroom to raise money for student driven causes. He is heavily involved with the Youth Vote initiative at EHS, organizing the local Board of Education and Town Council debates and assemblies. He is a founding and active member of the Diversity Task Force/Club at Enfield High School. Tony also participated in regional discussions coordinated by Connecticut Department of Education, regarding teaching students about having civil discussions about sensitive social and political issues. Additionally, Tony finds time to coach soccer at EHS, and co-advise the EHS film club.

We are thrilled to share this honor with you and wish Tony the best in his future pursuit at the state level.
