Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School student Megan Fuchs has a painting on display at the nation's Capitol Building this summer.

High School Chemistry teacher Beth Smith is the recipient of a 2009 Massachusetts Institute of Technology Inspirational Teacher Award.  Students at MIT nominate the high school teachers who inspired them through dedicated and motivating teaching.  Smith was nominated by BBHHS alumnus Patrick Ernst.  She is now able to access resources at MIT that will contribute to even greater success for her as an educator.
