The state winners of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science and Mathematics Teaching are Janet Jones Irsfeld of Kim Elementary School in Las Vegas; Eric Anderson of Las Vegas Academy high school; Dawn Marie Alexander of Smith Elementary School in Reno; and David Thiel of Green Valley High School in Henderson. The teachers will be honored during an all expense-paid trip in May to Washington, where they will be guests of the White House.
