The Leo Schubert Memorial Award — established in 1979 to honor Dr. Leo Schubert, a chemistry professor at American University who devoted much of his career to developing programs for high school teachers and students — recognizes outstanding teachers of high school chemistry in the Washington, D.C. area.
Mr. Mallory, a teacher at Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville, Maryland, received this award in recognition of his exemplary service in the classical chemistry program, for being at the forefront in bringing new pedagogical methods into the existing curriculum, teaching chemistry at the On-Level and Honor programs, and overseeing the update of curriculum in Environmental Chemistry at the high school level.
