Congratulations goes to our Instructional Specialist Mr. John Giebler on being selected our Teacher of the Month. You may ask, "What does an Instructional Specialist do?", but the better question is probably "what does he NOT do". Mr. Giebler wears so many different hats in our building, it's hard to keep track of. In essence though, Mr. Giebler does many different tasks all with the heart of serving our teachers and students every day. Everyone here is very grateful for his positive impact.
Our Employee of the Month is Mr. Dusty Borgman, who serves as a Teacher Assistant for Mr. Stober in the Auto Collision program. Mr. Borgman, who also serves as a bus driver for the district, jumped at the opportunity to join our staff. He brings almost 40 years of experience in auto collision. He has a passion for helping students prepare for the demands of the collision repair industry. He is an invaluable asset to our Auto Collision program.
