Pam Klink, a 12-year teaching veteran at the Center of Applied Technology-South (CAT-South) has been named the Region I Teacher of the Year by Magnet Schools of America (MSA). She is among six regional honorees who will be celebrated at the MSA national conference in April where the national winner will be announced.

Affectionately and respectfully known as simply “Chef,” Klink has proven to be a master of two worlds: culinary precision and educational excellence. Inspired to share the joy that fueled her own culinary career, she joined CAT-South to craft and cultivate an exemplary culinary arts program.

​

Her efforts are akin to passionately preparing an exquisite meal and have been noticed at the highest levels. The culinary program at CAT-South is certified by the American Culinary Federation and Klink was previously a finalist for AACPS Teacher of the Year.

As this year’s MSA Teacher of the Year for Region I, Klink represents innovative educators from Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and the District of Columbia.
