Two outstanding educators are honored each year at the annual November NMAS meeting with a commemoration, a monetary award, and classroom materials. Each winner and a guest are provided a hotel room, event registration and meal for the annual award ceremony.  This award is augmented by a monetary award from the American Chemical Society (ACS). If you know an outstanding teacher, nominate him or her.

Throughout the spring, students from around the state participated in the New Mexico Junior Academy Science Paper Competition. The winners from the participating New Mexico regions qualified to participate in the statewide competition held at the New Mexico Science and Engineering Fair April 15-16, 2023. Congratulations to all the students that competed (read more to see all the winners)
