WINNER PROFILES JACOB OHNMEIS
Math • Goshen Middle School Jacob Ohnmeis, who just completed his fifth year of teaching at Goshen Middle School, teaches eighth grade math and high school integrated math. “In short, the students are why I love to teach. Whether I’m in the classroom providing real life applications to the math concepts that I teach, or helping kids navigate these challenging middle school years, I am fortunate enough to experience the passion and reward of teaching every day,” says Ohnmeis. Ohnmeis also coaches high school football and middle school track. “Whether he is in the classroom or on the field, Mr. Ohnmeis is an outstanding example of what a teacher and coach should be!” says Theresa Scherzinger, curriculum director at Goshen Middle School. Scherzinger nominated Ohnmeis as an Outstanding Educator based on his teaching experience, participation in development activities, interest in students outside the classroom and distinctive qualities as a member of the community. - Madison Rodgers
