Rich Aust, 4th grade teacher at Discovery Elementary is the kind of educator who changes lives. He has a natural ability to meet students where they are, help them grow, and celebrate their successes every step of the way!

His nominator Rachel shared, "Rich is the type of teacher who meets the students where they are at and propels them infinitely toward their future. He is proud of them when they are successful, and he is broken with them when they run into hard time times."

With therapy dogs visiting three times a week and his unwavering commitment to student success, Rich makes a lasting impact every day.

Please help us congratulate Mr. Aust for being a true All Star!
