Brad Childress is the welding instructor at May River High School in Bluffton, and his wife Kelly wrote in to nominate him--and he got the most votes! She wrote:
Mr. Childress has a way to connect with his students like no other teacher. He has a big heart & will do anything to see his kids succeed. Mr.Childress is truly here doing what God planned for him. He is a remarkable roll model for his students. Everyone is touched by his kindness and humbleness.
His kids love him and I was told that he often wraps his arms around kids that could be considered "at risk."

Brad received an Amazon Echo, a $100 gift card, and his class got lunch!
Congratulations Brad!
Here is a project from Brad's class: it's an All-American Sun Dial and the Eagle is the focal point of how it tells time!
