Congratulations to Alan Ridenoure, Sports Medicine Teacher & CTE Dept Chair at Wando High School on being recognized in the Charleston County School District Weekly Update as the "Unsung Educator of the Week!"

"He has made learning fun, exciting and challenging. He has the unique ability to recognize and respect his students for their individuality and personal strengths. He cares about the student as a whole person, not just what they are able to do in his class.

He has made my daughter feel valued as a contributor to his class. He understands the importance of overall balance as well as the many challenges that teens face in school each day, not just in terms of academics.

My daughter will always remember how important, smart and safe he made her feel when she came into his classroom every day." -- submitted by a Wando parent
