AWARD WINNERS
MAMSE HALL OF FAME
In recognition of outstanding contributions to those
who teach and learn at the middle level
The Michigan Association of Middle School Educators
hereby inducts
Dr. Thomas N. Barris
into the MAMSE HALL OF FAME
Dedicated, organized, collaborative, caring, creative and self assured are
words used as a testimonial for granting Dr. Thomas N. Barris the Michigan
Association of Middle School Educators Hall of Fame Award.
Dr. Barris has served the Michigan Association of Middle School Educators in
many ways: Region 11 Board of Director 1988 – 90; President-Elect 1990 – 91,
President 1991 – 92; Past President 1992 – 93; Associate Executive Director
1993 – 95; Executive Director 1995 – 2006.
He has a strong commitment to middle level youth and those adults who work to
guide and teach them. He was responsive to the fiscal health of the organization
by analyzing and monitoring the budget and recommending sound investment and
spending strategies. He coordinated the planning of MAMSE's annual conferences
attended by 700 - 1700 educators. He provided the MAMSE Board of Directors with
the information needed to be a functioning policy board. As a presenter at
national and state conferences, he shared his expertise about the components of
exemplary middle schools. Under his leadership, MAMSE strengthened collaborative
efforts with the National Middle School Association, Michigan Association of
Secondary School Principals, Kellogg Foundation Middle Start Initiative, Central
Michigan University Michigan Schools in the Middle Project, and the Michigan
Education Association Middle Level Public Relations Project. His professionalism
is exceptional.
Through these collaborative efforts, Dr. Barris showed his commitment to
professional development at the state and national level. By influencing the
educators in the classrooms in the state of Michigan via MAMSE programs and
partnerships, Dr. Barris had the strong potential of impacting the lives of
thousands of middle level youth, the profession and the community.
Dr. Barris was part of the golden age of middle schools. His dedication to
advocating for middle level youth and those who serve them is appreciated and
admired.
