Thank you to everyone at the Canton Museum of Art and Massillon Museum for recognizing WHS-TV’s own Mr. Ferrell and supporting all of the teachers and students in the arts!

Introducing Art Educator of the Year Finalist Matthew J. Ferrell!

The Canton Museum of Art and the Massillon Museum are pleased to announce Matthew J. Ferrell as a finalist for the 2025 Art Educator of the Year Award! The winner of the award will be announced during intermission at the Canton Symphony Orchestra's March 22 concert, Tetzloff Plays Beethoven's 1st Piano Concerto.

Matthew has held many positions throughout his career — none more rewarding and challenging than his current role as Media Arts Instructor at Massillon Washington High School’s WHS-TV in Massillon, OH. WHS-TV Ohio is the oldest operating high-school based TV station in the world. Formed in 1967, students learn the art of media production and content creation by producing a variety of sports and community-centric programming that airs to nearly 40,000 homes through their own dedicated 24-hour cable channel.

Although Matthew has only been in his current position since the 2016 school year, his accomplishments there rival that of someone with 30+ years on the job. These include: the launching of all WHS-TV social media platforms, re-branding/station imaging of WHS-TV, technology streamlining and optimization of the entire Media Arts department, launching WHS-TV Junior for the local junior high school, and creating the “CTE Works 4 Me” marketing campaign with a logo promoting other school-based programs. His student-based team has earned 12 Business Professionals of America (BPA) Awards and 8 Student Production Awards (aka High School Emmy Awards). He has been named a 5-time Stark County Art Teacher of the Year finalist, Ohio Association for Career and Technical Education’s Outstanding New Career and Technical Teacher of the Year for 2019, and has earned the highest possible Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES) rating of “Accomplished” every year since being hired at Massillon City Schools.

Tickets to the concert are available now! Call the CSO Box Office at 330-452-2094 or visit https://cantonsymphony.org/tetzloff-plays-beethovens-1st.../.

All arts educators receive 50% off tickets by calling the CSO Box Office.

This award is sponsored in part by Dr. Michael and Judi Krew.
