Nominated by:

Bill Ziegler - Principal, Columbia Early College High School "Although by the nature of his position this shouldn't seem like a shock that he is (because he is our tech teacher), but I nominate Mr David Spruill for going above and beyond with integrating technology into his classroom and the school. He is teaching his students programs and software that business and industry uses today- this adds relevance and urgency to his lessons. In addition he maintains high expectations for all the projects his students complete. Walking into his classroom you will see students using Adobe software to create videos, posters, etc. His students regularly earn Microsoft credentials and high NC Workkeys test results. Mr David is teaching students to use technology not only for academics but for future careers!"
