What the school division said about this Excellent Educator: Andy Linn is a 32-year teaching and coaching veteran. He’s passionate about building relationships with his students, challenging them, engaging them, and teaching them to think on their own. Linn holds his students to high levels of accountability. If they need someone to talk to, he is there to listen. Some students may come from difficult home situations and need support beyond the classroom. He cares about each of these students as people and this is truly a wonderful character trait that makes Linn a compassionate individual.
