Congratulations to Jordan Brown and Ben Jervis, EHS/EMS/Discovery Band Instructors, for receiving the District Attitude Award.
Their nominator wrote, “Any teacher that can energize a room of high school students at 7:30 in the morning is someone I feel is deserving of an attitude award, and Mr. Brown and Mr. Jervis are two of those teachers. They bring enthusiasm to every class, as well as showing interest in each student and making us feel welcome and wanted as soon as we walk through the door. They also provide many opportunities for us to grow as musicians and individuals. Both sacrificed their spring break to take 70 students to Disney World to perform, scheduled time for us to learn from professors of music, and created an entirely new festival competition system to benefit their students. Being able to have these opportunities is all thanks to our selfless directors. Even with their own families and responsibilities outside of school, they still manage to put their students above themselves and support us in any way they can. Mr. Brown and Mr. Jervis are two of the most talented, encouraging, energetic, and patient educators and deserve recognition for everything they do for their students.”
