Kannapolis City Schools recognized Mike earlier this month for his outstanding work as the Wonders Welding Teacher at A.L. Brown High School.
Mike is a hands-on teacher that takes pride in his students and encourages them to do their best. He was recently nominated by three of his welding students who said that Mike has helped them in so many ways. One student said, “[Mr. Huffman] has not only improved me as a student, but as a person. There are not many teachers you can ask very personal questions to, but he is always there willing to help.”
Mike’s students appreciate the way he takes time to work with them one-on-one to help them master welding skills. His students feel that Mike deserves more than one award and describe him as a humble person. One student asked Mike if he would like to win an award one day and he replied, “I don’t need an award. The best thing for me is getting a call in five years saying that you have a welding job making more money than me.”
We are extremely proud of Mike for his outstanding work at A.L. Brown High School. Mike was recognized at the December 2016 Kannapolis Board of Education meeting. He received a plaque and a $300 award from Hilbish Ford.
