Another honor has been bestowed upon Scales

teachers who have demonstrated excellence in
teaching classical languages, literature philosophy

The
money can be used to cover tuition, travel and
living expenses for graduate courses, workshops or
seminars in the humanities. The remaining
$1,500 will go to the school for the purchase of
humanities instructional materials or for student
humanities projects.
McHugh is no stranger to awards. Last year,
she was named a Fulbright Scholar which allowed her
to travel and study in Japan for several months.
McHugh has also been recognized on the local level.
