Congratulations to Andrew Mahar
MPHS Teacher of the Year
Spanish Language teacher Andrew Mahar has been chosen MPHS Teacher of the Year. Known for
encouraging his students to learn by teaching language in various creative ways through literature and language arts, he has taught all levels, from Spanish 1 through 6.
Mr. Mahar became interested in Spanish in high school and decided to study abroad after graduation. Spending a gap year in Pamplona, Spain, he lived with two different Spanish families. He studied both Spanish and management information systems at the University of Georgia, but decided that he was more interested in Spanish, so he obtained a master's degree from UNCC in Spanish Language, Literature, and Culture. He began teaching at Myers Park 12 years ago, initially thinking that he would continue on and obtain a PHD. After a few years he realized that MPHS was the right fit, and he has been here ever since.
Congratulations Mr. Mahar!

Have you noticed the shed being constructed next to Circle?
There have been lots of questions and interest about the small shed that is under construction on the circle. This shed is being built by MPHS Habitat Club with the help of Arcadia Builders. Every Habitat home requires a shed. Our shed will be delivered in a few weeks to a Habitat home and will serve as a tool shed for the first time homeowner.
Our Habitat Club hopes to build another in the Spring. Next year they are planning on doing even more! It is service learning with the opportunity for our kids to gain construction, design, finance, marketing and numerous other life skills. If you have additional questions or want to offer help, please contact club advisors Peets Guice or David Dunn.
