Congratulations to Lisa Iverson, who was recently awarded the Social Studies Educator of the Year for the State of Oregon. Lisa was chosen for this honor because of her dedication to developing curriculum that engages and excites her students and the use of innovative and creative appoaches in her classroom.
 Over the years Mrs. Iverson has participated in programs that have broadened her perspectives in education, bringing those new ideas to the classroom and thus enriching her students. As president elect for the Oregon Council for the Social Studies, Lisa developed an outstanding spring conference that significantly impacted teachers throughout the state.
This is the second year in a row that a Cascade High School staff member has received this honor. Brian Fenderson was presented with the award in 2008.
