Gladstone High art teacher honored
Rich said, "I teach printmaking, design, painting, and drawing, and we have a pretty popular ceramics program. I'm always working with the kids. Seldom do I ever not have a project where I'm working in tandem with them because I like to show that I do it, too. I think the kids appreciate seeing the teacher learn with them."
