Celebrating DPI’s Next Chapter

09/01/2026

We’re excited to recognize one of our amazing PRN staff members, Meredith, for an incredible achievement!

This summer, Meredith was one of just 100 educators from across the country selected to participate in an Advocate Training Institute in Washington, D.C. The program focused on increasing participation in scientific competitions among groups that have historically been underrepresented in STEM.

Meredith brings that passion for inclusion and opportunity into her work as a special education science teacher, where her students have participated in both local and international scientific competitions. Through those experiences, her students have gained confidence, expanded their learning, and earned awards that prove what they’re capable of achieving!

We’re proud to have Meredith as part of the Developing Potential, Inc. team and love seeing the impact she continues to make both at DPI and in the classroom.

Please join us in congratulating Meredith on this well-deserved recognition!
