The Elizabethtown Area School District has announced that two of its high school agriculture education teachers, Mark Anderson and Stephen Geib, have been nominated for statewide honors by the Pennsylvania Association of Agricultural Educators (PAAE).

Anderson, who joined Elizabethtown Area School District in 2005, has been nominated for the Outstanding Service Award, which recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to agricultural education through leadership, mentorship, and dedicated service. Anderson is recognized for not only supporting his students but also advancing the broader mission of agricultural education across the commonwealth.

Geib joined the district in 2017 and is a nominee for the Outstanding Agriculture Teacher Award. This recognition celebrates educators who demonstrate exemplary teaching practices, program development, and student engagement in agricultural studies. Geib is recognized for his innovative instructional methods and his commitment to fostering student success through hands-on, real-world agricultural learning experiences.

The awards are presented annually at the PAAE Summer Conference.
