Congratulations Mr. Byron Ernest!

Mr. Byron Ernest, who teaches agricultural science at LHS, is one of ten finalists for Indiana's Teacher of the Year Award! Here's a link to today's article in The Reporter: http://www.reporter.net/local/local_story_240020247.html (This is a shorter version of the story than what appears in the print version.)

Here is the announcement of the top ten candidates from the Indiana Dept. of Education web site:

Mr. Ernest is a teacher of tremendous energy, passion, and creativity. We're lucky to have him, and I'm delighted to see him get this sort of recognition. Best wishes to him going forward--it would be fantastic for Lebanon to have its first Teacher of the Year!
