The theme of this month’s Honoring Outstanding Professional Educators (H.O.P.E.) award was “Thinking outside the box.” All of the students were encouraged to take the time to write a short reason as to why they were voting for the teacher that they thought deserved this month’s “Thinking outside of the box” H.O.P.E. award.
The teacher who won the November H.O.P.E award was Mr. Brian Wargo. This was Wargo’s second time winning the H.O.P.E award; Wargo along with Mr. Ed Majors were the recipients of the first H.O.P.E. award last school year.
“I appreciate that I am being recognized for enacting my goal of helping students to have the potential to think, speak and act scientific,” Wargo said. “This may seem as if I am thinking outside the box; in reality, it is simply showcasing why schools will remain essential, why instructors are indispensable and how teaching must occur in the future.”
