During the district’s late April Board of Education meeting, the Three Village Central School District honored and celebrated P.J. Gelinas Junior High School English teacher Douglas Elliot for being awarded excellence in civics education by the Federal Bar Association for his outstanding achievement as an educator of interdisciplinary studies and civics.

Mr. Elliot has served as the advisor of the district’s award-winning and well decorated mock trial team and was instrumental in creating an introductory junior high school program mock trial at Gelinas this year.
