A special education teacher with a passion for his craft, along with a fifth-grade teacher who supports both students and colleagues, are being recognized for their efforts.
Mike Brasch and Marie Klemmer are being recognized as Teachers of the Year by the Camas-Washougal Chamber of Commerce. They will be honored at a banquet on June 4.
Brash is a special education teacher at Hayes Freedom High School in Camas, while Klemmer teaches fifth-grade at Gause Elementary School in Washougal.
Mike Brasch
An eight-year veteran of the Camas School District, Brasch is recognized as a “class act,” whose warm, caring personality strengthens his teaching practice and his relationships with students.
Colleagues describe Brash as a keen but kind observer who always has a smile and a story to share. But what all notice most is his passion for teaching and helping students.
