After paid leave, former ‘Teacher of Year’ resigns

Nearly three months after being placed on paid administrative leave, a longtime Washougal High School Spanish teacher and 2010 state finalist for Teacher of the Year, has resigned.

Brian Eggleston, resigned his position effective June 23. He had worked at the high school since 2005 and earned honors for his teaching methods. Then, in early May, district leaders placed Eggleston on paid administrative leave and declined to give a specific reason.
