Mission is proud to announce our 2025-2026 #TeacherOfTheYear: it’s a bird … it’s a plane … it’s Mr. Aaron White! He’s worn many capes throughout the years - math teacher, technology teacher, and now he’s at the helm of the Video Production program (with Tamara Whitney’s blessing no doubt). He’s a member of the Redesign Team, the creative genius behind our social media accounts, #eSports coach, and leads weekly adventures in anime. Believe it or not, he also finds time to be a loving husband and father, and a pretty awesome #DiscGolf player. As many of his current and former students would agree, Mr. White has superhuman powers when it comes to unlocking their talent and strengths. Mr. White is a man of many talents and roles, and we are blessed to have him at Mission. 🎉👏🙌✊️👍👊🙌👏🎉 (Thank you for writing these kind words, Mrs. Luevanos) 🙏
