2015 Faculty Excellence Award goes to Nissa Hales

Congratulations to Nissa Hales who was named the winner of the 2015 Faculty Excellence Award at this year’s Middle School Closing Ceremony. Nissa has steadily improved the sixth grade experience since she arrived at Laguna in 2000. According to Head of Middle School Durward Brandis, “She introduced technology right from the beginning and maximized its effectiveness in her pedagogy.” Nissa assisted the Director of Technology and sat on the Technology Committee to design and implement the One-to-One laptop program in the Middle School. “She was our ‘go to’ instructor for tech help,” adds Durward. 

This fall, Nissa will transition out of the classroom as a lead teacher and will become Laguna’s Instructional Technology Coordinator, responsible for helping Laguna students and teachers integrate technology into their curricula. We’re excited to have the entire school benefit from her skills, dedication, and pioneering spirit.
