A passion for teaching and commitment to students has earned Juan Bolanos Marion, a math teacher at T.C. Roberson High School, a prestigious national honor.
Juan was recently selected as a Claes Nobel Educator of Distinction by the National Society for High School Scholars, an award that recognizes exemplary educators whose dedication and passion leave a lasting impact on their students.

His commitment to excellence and his genuine care for student success inspire learners not only to grow as scholars, but also as leaders and responsible citizens.
The Claes Nobel Educator of Distinction honor celebrates educators who spark curiosity and motivate students to reach higher. For Juan, that passion shows up every day - proving that great teaching can truly change lives.
