YAY JAMES CLARK! James Clark, a civics teacher at Elko Middle School, is today's "Yay of the Day" honoree! Superintendent Amy Cashwell honored him recently at Elko.
YAYWORTHY:
Nominator Julia Davis said:
"Civics is arguably one of the least glamorous subjects. Yet Mr. Clark works incredibly hard to make it engaging for his eighth graders. He assigns projects and essays that grow students' writing abilities and help them see the relevance of civics to their everyday lives. It is incredibly labor intensive to grade those types of assignments, but Mr. Clark is committed to putting in many extra hours to provide his students with rigorous experiences. His students are well prepared for high school because of his high expectations."
Thank you for all you do, James Clark, to make a positive difference and move HCPS forward!
