• William L. '57 and Barbara R. Brackett '57 Excellence in Teacher Education Scholarship
  Bill and Barbara Brackett met, were married, and began their family while students at Keene Teachers College.

After two years in Plymouth, the Bracketts moved to Connecticut where both pursued their long and pleasant teaching careers. Upon retirement from the Connecticut Public School System, The Bracketts moved back to New Hampshire in 1994.
