Wes Henderson has only been in the classroom for two years, but he knows he made the right career choice. "I've always had a deep interest in teaching," Henderson said. "A lot of my relatives were teachers, so I always wanted to teach or coach, and I'm loving this teaching."
He teaches 9th grade history at Montgomery Catholic high school. Just a few years ago he was hitting home runs in Tuscaloosa, for the Alabama Crimson Tide baseball team. Somehow he brought his passion from the field to the classroom. "I'm loud and energetic and I'm tired at the end of the day. This is a paperless classroom, we're all on Mac Books, and I think its going real well."
The person who nominated him for the Class Act award says he's a special teacher because he's thorough and nice.
Congratulations to Mr. Wes Henderson from Montgomery Catholic HS, this week's Class Act.
