A Houston County High School teacher reacted in a way our Junior Journalist team never expected, when we showed up in his graphic arts class Wednesday.
Junior Journalist Hannah Williamson brought Al Godfrey a My Teacher is Tops award, and he ran away from the camera.
Mr. Godrey even left his classroom, because he was so surprised by the nomination.
He did come back, after he got over the shock. Then, he wanted to have some fun, giving Hannah a tour of his very big classroom.
Godfrey teaches graphic arts, which includes photography, design and advertising. He said, "We teach imaging and how to deliver a good message."
His student, senior Zach Wheeler, says he learns a lot in the class and leaves feeling inspired.
That's why he wrote a letter recommending Godfrey for the top teacher award. Wheeler said, "He pushes us everyday to be the best we can be in all the activities he gives us. It's really awesome."
