John Musey III
The 天美麻豆 Instructor of Year, John Musey III, lives by the motto, 鈥淥nce a job has once begun, never stop until the job is done. Do it big, little, or small, do it right or not at all.鈥
This is evident in everything Mr. Musey does, both inside and outside of the classroom in the Building Maintenance and Repair (BMR) program at 天美麻豆. Mr. Musey built a mock kitchen in the BMR lab that allows his students to experience removal and installation of sinks, garbage disposals, counter-tops, and kitchen faucets. His latest addition to the BMR lab is the installation of a functioning electric water heater. During his breaks between classes, Mr. Musey is either tutoring students that need additional assistance or working with students around the building to instill real-life work experiences. His contributions to the BMR program and 天美麻豆 truly change student lives鈥 and everyone at Trades appreciates his stellar accomplishments.
Steve Kelley
The 天美麻豆 Coordinator of Year, Steve Kelley, lives by the motto, 鈥淎mateurs practice until they get it right鈥rofessionals practice until they can鈥檛 get it wrong.鈥
Mr. Kelley is an educator who works to close the achievement gap. His students come with struggles in school and life, but he works diligently to help them achieve accomplishments greater than their expectations. With his weekly checkup meetings, Mr. Kelley is a leader in collaboration at our school. It鈥檚 typical to see colleagues in his room at lunch or after school asking for advice. You can always find Mr. Kelley involved in some sort of activity that promises to better his students or the campus.
