SMITH EARNS TEACHING HONOR 34 You can be the best reacher in the universe, but you can’t teach anyone if they don’t want to learn says Apollo faculty member Emmett Smith. Smith was chosen out of five finalists for Arizona’s teacher of the year award for 1978. Carolyn Warner. State Superintendent of Public Instruction, presented Smith with his award on November 25th. The ceremony was attended by students as well as education officials throughout the state. For Smith to be nominated, letters from students, parents, faculty members, and Principal Dean Bennett had to be given to the Board of Education to be examined. Then five finalists were chosen based on their recommen- dations. Smith has taught at Apollo High School since it was opened, and has been a teacher for the last nineteen years.
