CHS educator Bill Garrett honored with L.A. County Teacher of the Year award

CHS+educator+Bill+Garrett+honored+with+L.A.+County+Teacher+of+the+Year+award

HL: How do you feel about receiving this award?

BG: I am incredibly honored to have been selected for this recognition and, honestly, I find it quite humbling. After all, I am a product of this district. I attended A.E. Wright Middle School and CHS and there are still several teachers within the district that taught me and helped shape my path.

 

HL: Has it changed your outlook on teaching?

BG: Not at all. It’s a great honor but I’m here because of the students.

 

HL: What is the most rewarding thing about being a teacher?

BG: Seeing the growth of my students from the beginning of ninth grade to the end of 12th grade is probably the most rewarding aspect of my job. The change is pretty incredible.

 

HL: What is the most challenging thing about being a teacher?

BG: The biggest challenge is the limited amount of time we have in the day – to be able to provide the best opportunities for my students and still live a balanced life.

 

HL: What is the best thing about being honored with this award?

BG: Being able to advocate about how important the arts are in students’ lives. I believe that my job is to look for the potential in each student, to have high expectations and to provide them the support to help them grow.
