Southern Door High School social studies teacher Troy Pertzborn will attend a prestigious institute this summer in Washington, D.C. Pertzborn was one of 60 nationally selected to participate this year at the Supreme Court Summer Institute.  Open to law-related and civic education teachers, the Institute allows instructors to study recent Supreme Court cases and learn from Supreme Court lawyers, reporters, and scholars while bringing back ideas for their own classroom. 

Upon learning of the acceptance, Pertzborn says he is excited and looking forward to this exceptional professional opportunity. He plans to use this experience to enhance his instructional methods in courses, particularly his Constitutional Law class. 

The five-day Supreme Court Summer Institute begins next Thursday for Pertzborn.  Street Law, Inc. and the Supreme Court Historical Society sponsor the Institute, which teaches people about law, democracy, and human rights worldwide.
