Rochester teacher in quarter finals for ‘America's Favorite Teacher'
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — A teacher from the School of the Arts is in the quarter-finals for the 'America's Favorite Teacher' contest.
Rob Arrendell, a science teacher for SOTA, became a quarter-finalist for the national competition. According to the bio on the contest's website, he wrote, 'Teaching allows me to use a subject area to positively affect lives. A mission for helping youth mature and grow in their gifts and dreams.'
If he wins, famed scientist Bill Nye will hold an assembly at the school. Arrendell would also win $25,000, be featured in Reader's Digest, and get a trip to Hawaii.
