Great teaching connects classroom learning to real-world success. Beth Pagan, Polaris Business Professional & Office Technology teacher, recently earned recognition for doing just that!
Beth received the prestigious Samuel H. Elliott Educator Award last month at the conclusion of the Enspire 2026 Ohio Conference in Parma. Since 1975, the Harvard Business School Club of Northeastern Ohio (HBSNEO), in cooperation with EconomicsAmerica, has honored outstanding Greater Cleveland K–12 educators who strengthen students’ understanding of the free enterprise system and ethical business management.
Through her work inside and outside the classroom, Beth helps students connect business principles with responsible professional practices - bringing the award’s mission to life while preparing students for their futures.
Congratulations, Mrs. Pagan! We’re proud to celebrate your dedication, your impact on students and this well-deserved honor!
