Being a teacher is not as easy as a student might think. Teachers do the best they can to give us a good education and help us become a better person. Everyone, as well as teachers, go through a lot of changes. When we were young, we weren't trouble makers and we had a different way of thinking. As we got older, things changed; teachers go through the same changes and it's for the better. Some teachers change the way they teach, others change the way they think.

Every teacher we've ever had deserves an award for giving us a good lesson. They’ve helped us even though some of us didn't want their help. So thank you to every teacher out there for helping us out, and for caring about our education. We'd like to shine a spotlight on some of our great teachers here at PVHS. This week, the teacher spotlight will go to Mr. Ilac. 

“I decided to become a teacher because I like helping people achieve more than they thought possible. My inspiration came from my high school history teacher and wresting coach.Yes, I absolutely love teaching and being able to change people's lives for the better. It was extremely difficult becoming a teacher, while being a first generation college student and not having any help navigating the college system. Also, I had to work 24-30 hours a week to pay for my college education. I love teaching AVID, coaching wrestling, and my favorite thing to do is being a father to my sons and daughters. Helping AVID be a school wide experience would be a fantastic thing to do, all kids could be a part of.”
