| Jethro Gillespie |
The Utah Art Education Association selected Jethro Gillespie, Nebo Education Association member and Art Teacher at Maple Mountain High School, to receive this year's Utah High School Educator of the Year award. Gillespie has helped numerous students to appreciate the arts, and use the skills they have learned from him to learn more about themselves. He teaches AP Studio Art, Drawing, and Painting. Gillespie was recently quoted as saying,"I think that the arts serve an extremely important role in the education of all students. I realize that most of the students in my classes probably won't go on to become professional painters, but I hope that they can learn valuable skills in art classes that will eventually go on to help them in whatever profession or position they may have in their futures." Congratulations to Jethro Gillespie for his prestigious honor, and for making a difference in the lives of his students!
