Here we share thoughts and insights from local teachers who lift up and inspire our students. Let us lift up and inspire these educators as well. Today we meet Barth Montel, a 20-year Ada educator.
As you get to know Barth from his responses, it’s easy to hear his passion. American industrialist Lee Iacocca said, “In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something less.”
Barth Montel is certainly one of the best. Thanks, Barth, for your time and dedication to our students. May your passion be contagious.
