Mount St. Charles history teacher recognized
A Mount St. Charles Academy history teacher, Joseph O’Neill, is one of eight finalists for a National History Day award that recognizes one teacher a year who develops and uses creative methods to make history interesting for students.
The winner of the national Richard T. Farrell Teacher of Merit Award for outstanding success in teaching history will be named on June 14 at the National History Day awards ceremony. That announcement is expected to be Web cast live on the National History Day site.

O’Neill, who chairs the history department at Mount St. Charles, was named the Richard T. Farrell Teacher of Merit within Rhode Island last month. Of the 50 state winners, eight have been selected as finalists for the national award, according to Mark Robinson with National History Day.
Those eight finalists will be recognized Sunday at the 6:30 p.m. welcome ceremony for National History Day at the University of Maryland. The keynote speaker at that event is award-winning documentary filmmaker Ken Burns.
