talent for teaching, and a commitment to hard work.
Denise talks to her students in ways that interest and intrigue them, and as a result,
they learn. When a student needs understanding, encouragement, extra help, or just

education; she has set up an environment that provides a smooth transition from a pure
Montessori setting to one with more traditional components, and she has been a leader in

Nominated by Student and Friend
“‘Trout’ as parents and students refer to him, lives for his students, hasn’t missed a day
of education in 24 years. and lives by his personal motto of ‘Pride and Respect’. He is an
educator of high moral standards who not only teaches the assigned materials, but many
stories of life. George takes his experience in woodworking and turns it into life-long lessons,
may it be from problem solving to creative thinking. Everything he teaches he makes sure
you can use elsewhere. George guides his students in the right direction, asking them what
should be done or how they would do it, learning along with his students. No project
presented has ever been turned down. The extremes of these projects range from a crucifix
with a hand carved Jesus figure to a 1919 Ford Depot Hack with approximately 400 hours
of woodworking to refinish the body to standards that have awarded the owners multiple
prizes. George motivates his students to do the best work possible. He leads and inspires
by example and action and it shows through the outstanding work of his students.”

Delco Hi-Q History
In the summer of 1948, two Scott Paper executives met to create a high school radio quiz
program that would represent a constructive contribution to the youth of Delaware County,
Pennsylvania, the base of Scott Paper Company operations. Through negotiations with Chester
radio station WPWA, Scott’s Hi-Q was born. Robert O. Johnson was selected as announcer and
quizmaster for the program. Bob had experience hosting similar quiz programs. The questions
were researched and originated by Bob. The name Hi-Q was also his idea. The “Hi” for high
school; the “Q” for I.Q.
In the first season, 20 schools with teams of four students competed. A series of weekly
contests between two teams at a time, resulted in the selection of five finalist teams. The
questions in that first year were all based on the current issue of Newsweek magazine.
In the spring of 1949, the first Hi-Q champion emerged as Media, Swarthmore, Collingdale,
Glen-Nor, and Haverford high schools vied for the championship. Media was the winner and
each team member received gold engraved watches and the school won the grand prize, an
auditorium size television set. Prizes for runner up teams included leather wallets and tape
recorders for their schools.
Eventually the radio broadcasts were cancelled as it became increasingly evident that
Hi-Q was, and should be, an in-school activity, as much a part of school as its classes, athletic
programs, drama clubs, musical groups, and all the other elements that make-up the full high
school experience.
The program became increasingly popular over the years, and in the 1970’s Donna Zerby,
manager of Hi-Q and special projects, led the initiative to expand Hi-Q to other parts of the
country. Donna had been involved with the program since 1962 and had the experience and
passion to expand Hi-Q. The program was expanded and sponsored by Scott plants in
Wisconsin, Alabama, Maine, Washington, and Arkansas. Donna continued producing the
program as the national director through the 1990’s and continued as Delco Hi-Q director until
her death in 2005.
In the mid 1990’s the business community through the Delaware County Education
Foundation began supporting Delco Hi-Q along with the participating schools. Delaware County
Intermediate Unit (DCIU) and the Foundation of The Delaware County Chamber eventually
became co-sponsors of Delco Hi-Q.
Today, Delco Hi-Q continues as a partnership between the education and business
communities. DCIU now partners with Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union to produce the
program. Hi-Q is not only alive in Delaware County, but competitions are still held in
Washington State, Wisconsin, and Alabama. Each location shares the same unique Hi-Q format.
Twenty-one Delaware County High Schools compete each year. Each team competes
three times and hosts one contest. The top scoring team earns the right to complete in the
championship contest and the next six teams compete in semi-final competitions to determine
championship berths.
Over 62 seasons, sponsors have changed, schools have changed, and the format has
changed, but the founding principles of the program have remained, a “program that stimulates
young minds and a constructive contribution to the youth of Delaware County, Pennsylvania.”
