From May 2-5, high school English teacher Matthew Woythaler attended the 2023 Marines Educators Workshop in Parris Island, S.C. along with over 60 educators primarily from New York and Maryland. He was made aware of the program by former student, Rafael Ferreira (Class of 2015), who became a Marine. Its purpose is to provide educators and other community influencers the opportunity to gain first-hand experience on how the Marine Corps transforms young men and women into U.S. Marines. These workshops also provide attendees with current information regarding Marine Corps recruit training and officer candidate school training practices and procedures, military job skills and opportunities, military lifestyle, and educational benefits available to Marines.
