Raised in the former Belgian Congo, Dieudonne Egotanda is ever mindful of the privilege of a free, quality education and sees it as his responsibility to make sure that all students receive opportunities to excel academically. When Mr. Egotanda arrived at New Utrecht High School in 2002, AP Calculus AB courses were dormant. Now, New Utrecht offers both AP Calculus AB & BC and Mr. Egotanda’s courses boast an average of 4.7 on the AP Calculus exam. With his palpable compassion and care for students, Mr. Egotanda is equally effective with students who may struggle with math. Says one colleague, “The best teachers are the ones who convey deep empathy and make an investment in their students’ lives and future. Mr. Egotanda is the shining example for this.”
