A Counselor/Teacher at Twentynine Palms High School received high honors last Wednesday at the local Rotary Club honored his selection as “Teacher of the Year.”

In the wake of Twentynine Palms High School’s recent six-year accreditation from the WASC, Twentynine Palms High School Principal Mike Ruggiero selected Robert Conway as Teacher of the Year due to his extraordinary efforts in coordinating the recent school accreditation effort.

Ruggiero said Conway’s leadership and management skills resulted in Twentynine Palms High School being given a full six-year accreditation at the highest level possible. 

Conway was presented with a recognition award and a gift certificate at The Rotary Club of Twentynine Palms, part of Rotary International, whose stated human rights purpose is to bring together business and professional leaders to provide humanitarian services, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and to advance goodwill and peace around the world.
