Vaughn is "Golden"

Warren County High School science teacher, Bill Vaughn, was surprised to open the door of his classroom to be greeted by his wife Angie, Superintendent Carey, and Brad Means from News Channel 6. Brad Means and representatives from CSRA Federal Credit Union were on hand to award Mr. Vaughn the Golden Apple Award for his work in the classroom.

The 2007-2008 school year represents Vaughn’s 40th year in the teaching profession. Most of those years were spent teaching at Thomson High School. While at Thomson, Mr. Vaughn taught science to several of the current Warren County High faculty members including, Mr. Swann, Mrs. Mitchell, Coach Hutto, and Coach Wright. He even taught Superintendent Carey when she was a student at Thomson. After 40 years of teaching, it is apparent that Mr. Vaughn loves his job.

Means' first question to Vaughn after presenting him with the award was, “Why do you like teaching?” Vaughn replied with, “I love the children, and I love to help them out.” Senior Sharane Johnson confirms Mr. Vaughn’s love of students. “He’s an intelligent, kind, and wise gentleman. Mr. Vaughan helps all his students understand not only biology, chemistry, and physical science, but life as well.”
