GHS Teacher Receives Apple Award from NSTOY

Shawn Whelan, a social studies teacher at Gateway High School, has received the Apple Award from the National State Teachers of the Year Pennsylvania Chapter (NSTOY-PA).** *The NSTOY-PA Apple Award program is intended to recognize teachers outside of the NSTOY-PA organization for their teaching excellence.
"Shawn is a great teacher who challenges his students with engaging lessons," said Gateway colleague Mark Wallace. "In addition, he sponsors a very active Interact Club that plans and conducts many service projects. These projects range from feeding the homeless in Pittsburgh to benefit concerts to a huge "Walk for Autism" research."
