GW Teacher of the Year 2013
Congratulations to Mr. Ronald Hessinger for being chosen as GW Teacher-of-the-Year for 2012-2013.! Mr. Hessinger served four years in the Air Force after high school and spent 10 years living in Ecuador, South America where he ran the Misahualli Jungle Hotel and Miltours (travel agency). Mr. Hessinger was a correctional officer for a year and decided this is not what he wanted to do as a career choice. Time to go back to school! Mr. Hessinger stated, “Since I lived and breathed earth science for ten years by trekking through the Andes, climbing up active volcanoes, living through major earthquakes and personally experiencing plate tectonics, it was only obvious that I pass this information on by teaching the subject.” Mr. Hessinger has been a teacher at GW for 10 years. He teaches earth science and AP Environmental (APES). Congratulations to a wonderful teacher!
