4/17/13 - While his team prepares to represent Michigan at a national competition, a local teacher has been recognized for his work. Howell High School government teacher Mark Oglesby was recently awarded the 2013 Outstanding American History Teacher from the Michigan State Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Lansing. Oglesby was nominated for the award by his former students Claire Kwan and Gabrielle Montesanti. Sue Reifert, a member of Howellâs Philip Livingston Chapter of the DAR, interviewed Oglesby and recommended him for the award from the state organization. Oglesby was chosen from a pool of nominees and presented with the award at a statewide DAR event in early April in Lansing. The local chapter will honor Oglesby at its May 7 meeting. Oglesby teaches Howell High Schoolâs We The People, civics education class, and is helping the group gear up for its trip to the national competition in Washington, D.C. later this month.
