John Musey III
The ฤขนฝสำฦต Instructor of Year, John Musey III, lives by the motto, โOnce a job has once begun, never stop until the job is done. Do it big, little, or small, do it right or not at all.โ
This is evident in everything Mr. Musey does, both inside and outside of the classroom in the Building Maintenance and Repair (BMR) program at ฤขนฝสำฦต. Mr. Musey built a mock kitchen in the BMR lab that allows his students to experience removal and installation of sinks, garbage disposals, counter-tops, and kitchen faucets. His latest addition to the BMR lab is the installation of a functioning electric water heater. During his breaks between classes, Mr. Musey is either tutoring students that need additional assistance or working with students around the building to instill real-life work experiences. His contributions to the BMR program and ฤขนฝสำฦต truly change student livesโ and everyone at Trades appreciates his stellar accomplishments.
Steve Kelley
The ฤขนฝสำฦต Coordinator of Year, Steve Kelley, lives by the motto, โAmateurs practice until they get it rightโฆProfessionals practice until they canโt get it wrong.โ
Mr. Kelley is an educator who works to close the achievement gap. His students come with struggles in school and life, but he works diligently to help them achieve accomplishments greater than their expectations. With his weekly checkup meetings, Mr. Kelley is a leader in collaboration at our school. Itโs typical to see colleagues in his room at lunch or after school asking for advice. You can always find Mr. Kelley involved in some sort of activity that promises to better his students or the campus.
