This honor highlights the work that the 17 secondary theatre teachers do every day to showcase and hone student talent on the stage as well as behind the scenes.

A year ago, then freshman, Holt Miller, made a promise to himself that he would return to DECA's international competition and be one of the top 10 finalists on stage during the awards ceremony, and through hours of hard work and determination, that's exactly what he did. Even better, he stood on the stage as the champion.
