We are delighted to announce Judith Burgin's induction into the 2023 Academic Hall of Fame!
Judith dedicated 38 years to Central Lee, inspiring students in both English and Spanish. Her roles extended beyond the classroom, as she advised the Spanish Club, directed the senior class play for several years, and served as a volunteer liaison for foreign exchange students. Judith studied abroad often in order to incorporate real-world experience in the classroom, encouraging her students to stretch their horizons beyond southeast Iowa.
Throughout her tenure, Judith provided her students with unique opportunities, from attending Spanish plays to achieving success in the Iowa AATSP contests held at Central College in Pella. She also organized trips to Chicago's museums and multiple trips to Mexico. Her students also gave back, tutoring younger students in Spanish and volunteering in the Salvation Army's Christmas Bucket Drive.
We are thrilled to honor Judith Burgin and her many accomplishments and service to the Central Lee community.
