St. Scholastica Academy physics teacher David Arbo was presented with the 2012-13 Scholastica Teaching Award. This award, given annually at the end of each school year, is unique in that it is the seniors who are invited to nominate a teacher from any grade level who influenced their lives through prayer, work, study and community.
Lauren Naquin nominated Arbo for his dedication to the ministry of teaching, exemplifying the Benedictine tradition, and openly illustrating devotion to SSA and his students.
In her nomination letter, Naquin sang Arbo’s praises. “Not only has Mr. Arbo taught me to do my best, but to always strive for better...To say that Mr. Arbo is my favorite teacher is an understatement,” Naquin continued, “he is now one of my best friends."
"Mr. Arbo taught me things I didn't think I could do, like build a car. Mr. Arbo deserved this award because he puts his students first. He truly is the epitome of what a St. Scholastica Academy teacher should be," she noted.
