Whippany Park High School

🍎 Big News at WPHS: Announcing Our Teacher of the Year! 🐾

Wildcats!
Today, we are beaming with pride as we officially announce Whippany Park High School’s 2026-2027 Teacher of the Year: Mrs. Beth Molinaro! 🏆

This award recognizes educators who go above and beyond, fostering a love of learning and building self-worth in every student they meet. Mrs. Molinaro doesn’t just meet that standard—she sets it.

Why she’s our 2026-2027 Honoree:

A Powerhouse of Positivity: Whether in the classroom, on the field coaching the Unified Team, or leading EmpowHer, she is a champion of inclusivity.

An Innovative Leader: Known as the "heart of the 100-wing," she isn’t afraid to take instructional risks and encourages her colleagues to do the same.

A True Advocate: As one student beautifully put it: "She has cheered for me so loudly that I didn’t notice who wasn’t cheering for me."

Beyond her "never satisfied with good enough" approach to academics, Mrs. Molinaro is the engine behind the Sunshine Club and the sense of family we feel here at WP. She ensures every single student feels seen, supported, and "able."

🎉 Please join us in congratulating a fierce advocate, a role model, and a truly superior educator.

Congratulations, Mrs. Molinaro! Thank you for everything you do for our school community.
