The Pennsylvania School Press Association is proud to announce the 2025 Journalism Teacher of the Year, Shelby Ramirez of Emmaus High school. The awards committee unanimously voted for Ms. Ramirez after reviewing this year’s nominees. Ms. Ramirez, an adviser of The Stinger since 2022, is a steadfast advocate for student media voices. She creates an atmosphere where her students are always willing to work–even during the most stressful and chaotic of times during The Stinger’s production weeks. Ayaan Shah, Editor-in-Chief of The Stinger, notes in his nomination, “...Ms. Ramirez fosters an environment where creativity and collaboration thrive. She recognizes the strengths of every student and ensures that each of us feels valued, heard, and capable of producing our best work.”

Ms. Ramirez will be recognized as the 2025 Journalism Teacher of the Year at the State Journalism Finals at Penn State Main Campus on April 1, 2025.
