Distinguished High School Teacher
The Teacher Award Committee of the ASM
Materials Education Foundation is proud to
announce the selection of
Jim Curiel
of
Don Bosco Technical Institute, Rosemead,
Calif., as recipient of the 2015 Kishor M.
Kulkarni Distinguished High School Teacher
Award.
The award, $2000 plus $500 toward travel to MS&T,
was established in 2007 through a generous donation by Dr.
Kishor M. Kulkarni, past trustee of ASM International, and
his family to recognize the accomplishments of one U.S.
high school science teacher who demonstrates a signifi-
cant and sustained impact on pre-college age students. The
award will be presented on October 5 at the ASM Leadership
Awards Luncheon at MS&T15 in Columbus, Ohio.
Curiel is a longtime ASM member and has served on
the executive committee of the Los Angeles Chapter, is a
past instructor of ASM education courses, and organized
and hosted Materials Camps for area middle schools. He
also organized ASM’s only student chapter at the high
school level.
“What sets Mr. Curiel apart is his passion towards the
materials science, engineering, and technology field and his
students succeeding in all their classes.”
