Edison’s Ham Wins Prestigious Award 

9/17/2009

Tina Ham, library media specialist at Edison Preparatory School, has won this year’s Polly Clarke Award. Named after a veteran librarian that passed away in 1986, the award recognizes “an Oklahoma school library media specialist who has been instrumental in the establishment of an exemplary library media program,” according to the Oklahoma Association of School Library Media Specialists.

A 17-year employee of Tulsa Public Schools, Ham has served as library media specialist for over a decade. She is nationally board certified and a graduate of the University of Oklahoma and Northeastern State University.

TPS has recently dominated the awards. Carver Middle School’s Mona Edwards received the honor in 2008 and Barbara McBride-Smith of Hoover Elementary in 2007.
