Central High School’s David Jordan has earned “Missouri Teacher of the Year” honors from a national organization.

Mr. Jordan, who is the coordinator of marketing and business at CHS, received the recognition from the Association of Career and Technical Educators.

“This honor is well deserved,” said Dr. Melody Smith, Superintendent of Schools.  “David Jordan is respected by his peers and exemplifies excellence.  He is truly a dedicated teacher.”

The award will be presented at the association’s annual conference in Springfield, MO this summer.  As the state winner, Mr. Jordan will be eligible for consideration for the regional teacher of the year, which encompasses several states.
