Creekland Middle School science teacher Rob Ware has won a Georgia Power New Teacher Award.
The utility company started the program nine years ago to recognize outstanding first-year teachers.
The recognition includes a $1,000 grant from Georgia Power to be used by the school to install an outdoor classroom area, according to a press release from the Cherokee County School District. Ware said so many of his fellow Creekland teachers donated items for his classroom when he first started that he wanted to create something the entire school could share.
