This week’s teacher spotlight is the ag teacher Billy Hayes. Billy Hayes has worked for the school for almost a year now. He decided to go into education because, “I love to teach the kids how to weld and and teach them about agriculture.” His favorite memory so far is, “the time we went to horse judging and we ate at a nice steak house and Adrian ate his steak like a cave man.” When it comes to building relations with his students, he stays calm and as nice as he possibly can. His strategy behind classroom management is, “if the class gets to loud, I will ask them nicely to keep it down. If they don’t do their work, I will give them warnings.”
