Outstanding Educator Recognized
Elena Malone, High School History Teacher and CHAI Coordinator, has been named a 2026 University of Chicago Outstanding Educator.
The annual award invites incoming freshmen to honor high school teachers who helped shape their educational journey. Eli Reyblatt ’26 nominated Ms. Malone, who mentored his senior-year independent study project examining the history of Israel and Palestine. As part of their research, Ms. Malone accompanied Eli and three other CH seniors, who were also examining this topic, on the International March of the Living tour in Poland, where they visited former Jewish communities and historical concentration camps, including Auschwitz.
In a note of gratitude to Ms. Malone, Eli wrote: “You gave me a new pair of glasses through which I can examine my own biases, the arguments of different sides of a debate, and the world at large. Thank you for inspiring me to be a better listener, discusser, and scholar.”
As part of the award, the University of Chicago sent Ms. Malone a certificate, plaque, and apparel, which she proudly wore.
