MacDonald a plaque in recognition of K.C.’s selection for their Citizenship Education Teacher Award. MacDonald was recognized as the state awardee for 2008-2009 for grade 9-12 teachers for his work with students, including the development of a community service program, and establishing a forum for students to meet with area legislators to learn about issues of concern. MacDonald is now one of 52 finalists for a national award from the Veterans of Foreign Wars. (Photo: Vince Thompson and Jason Parting)

Thanks for putting this up. KC is very deserving to be the VFW’s teacher of the year for Idaho. He is a big part of why Clark Fork has now twice made US News and World Report’s list of the top small schools in the nation. I think he’s also a big reason why Clark Fork overwhelmingly supported the recent levy vote, as he is one of the teachers who would likely have been lost to cutbacks, given he’s low on the seniority list (along with most of the rest of the staff at the school).
