Here's what the nominator had to say:
"Tadd has a unique ability to connect with every student, especially those who may not always thrive in traditional classroom settings. He makes learning engaging, meaningful, and helps students see their own strengths to open doors to future careers in the trades, engineering, and beyond. Each day, Tadd blends academic rigor with real-world relevance. Whether they’re building a project, repairing equipment, or designing something from scratch, students are guided by Tadd’s patience, expertise, and unwavering belief in the potential of every student."
Congratulations, Tadd!
