RESOLUTION



    A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION honoring Lake Central High School automobile teacher Dennis Brannock as the 2000 Indiana Instructor of the Year.

    Whereas, Indiana teachers constantly face the daunting task of educating, mentoring, and counseling the youth of this great State to help them develop into capable and productive adults;

    Whereas, Dennis Brannock, an automotive technology teacher, has risen to the top in his field, and has been recognized as the 2000 Indiana Instructor of the Year by Universal Technical Institute (UTI);

    Whereas, Mr. Brannock's positive influence on his students is directly reflected by his students' academic success and the popularity of his class;

    Whereas, in the year 2000, Mr. Brannock's senior class test scores placed Lake Central's Automotive Technology Program in the top 10 percent of UTI's national high school competition;

    Whereas, Mr. Brannock teaches approximately 200 students each year in his two-year program. Of the 98 new students who applied to take his class, fewer than 60 were accepted;



    Whereas, to help immerse Mr. Brannock's select students into the subject of automotive technology as a comprehensive study, the School Board generously backed his program with the construction of a state-of-the-art facility, set up as a professional garage, where students are required not only to work on automobiles, but must also learn to deal with customers, answer the phone in a polite manner, and process work orders; and

    Whereas, Mr. Brannock aptly summarized his teaching philosophy and the reason behind his program's success, stating: "I try to teach them a work ethic and what real life is all about. I like to see young people grow and become worthwhile citizens and assets to the community." Therefore,


Be it resolved by the Senate of the General Assembly

of the State of Indiana, the House of Representatives concurring:


    SECTION 1.     The people of Indiana are greatly appreciative of the dedication and commitment to Indiana students by instructor Dennis Brannock, and we are extremely proud of his recognition as Universal Technical Institute's 2000 Indiana Instructor of the Year.
    SECTION 2. The Secretary of the Senate is hereby directed to distribute copies of this Resolution to Dennis Brannock and to Lake Central High School Principal Sandra Platt.
