SV middle school teacher wins 2024 Good Neighbor Award by NexTier Bank

Mr. Chris Eden, a Health and Physical Education teacher at Ryan Gloyer Middle School (RGMS) and a Seneca Valley Football coach, was recently honored with the 2024 Good Neighbor Award by NexTier Bank. This award recognizes educators who go above and beyond both in their professional and personal lives.

Mr. Eden, a dedicated teacher and coach, played a key role in starting Seneca Valley’s first Girl’s Flag Football team. With nearly 70 girls attending the introductory meeting, Mr. Eden has shown exceptional commitment to supporting the team and helping them succeed. Thanks to his efforts, many girls are now participating in a sport for the first time, boosting their self-esteem and recognizing themselves as integral members of the community.

This year, over 12 local teachers were nominated for the Good Neighbor Award. Nominees can be put forward by colleagues, friends, family, or parents, and a panel of NexTier Bank judges select the winner. The winner is awarded the opportunity to choose a classroom item valued up to $300.

Mr. Eden selected a GoPro Hero10 + Head Strap Accessory to be used for a project involving all of his students as part of the body systems unit.
