Dominic Bruno, '08 LAS Secondary Education, has been named High School Teacher of the Year by the Regional Office of Education of Kane County.
Bruno is an English teacher at Kaneland High School. He also serves as a basketball coach and a journalism advisor.
He says he wants students to "have fun in my class. So the balance I have to try and strike is that the classes I teach are rigorous. But if I can get students to walk in excited, smiling, talking to each other as they come in, that’s the environment that I always want."
