Congratulations to Todd Peterson! He is this year's Golden Apple winner.  Anne Foster, English Department Co-chair has this to say about Mr. Peterson:

"Todd is one of the most versatile teachers in our department! He works equally well with all ability levels as well as grade levels. He could also make a living as a stand-up comic and his students adore him. In terms of flexibility, if I went to him the day before school started and told him I needed him to teach a brand new grade level with a 3rd prep, he would say, "bring it on." Enough said: he's the Real Deal!"
