JRTI held our annual Teacher of the Year Breakfast Event on Friday, December 6, 2024. This year’s finalists included Kyle Albright, Welding, Kevin Price, Diesel Technology, and Phillip Barrett, Electrical Technician. Chef Stephen Brown’s ProStart High School Culinary students prepared and served an assortment of breakfast options to the entire faculty and community partners in attendance.  

Each term, students are asked to nominate a teacher whom they find exemplary to be recognized as Teacher of the Term. Each nine weeks, there is one Teacher of the Term for ACE (postsecondary) and one for high school recognized.  At the end of the year, the JRTI Faculty selects three finalists for the Teacher of the Year recognition.  Those finalists are interviewed by members of the school’s Local School Improvement Council (LSIC), who select the Teacher of the Year.

During the breakfast, Director/Principal Russell Penner welcomed community leaders and faculty in announcing that Kevin Price was the 2024 Teacher of the Year. Mr. Price teaches one of the consistently most popular high school programs at JRTI. He also serves as one of the lead advisors for the largest student organization in the school, SkillsUSA.
