Northlake science teacher Austin Aeschbacher has been named Elementary Teacher of the Year by the East Dallas Chamber of Commerce.
Known as Mr. A to his 5th grade students at Northlake and to an entire campus of Skyview kids who adored him as their music teacher before his move to Northlake this year, Aeschbacher was pivotal in securing Skyview’s Outdoor Harmony Garden in 2016. He energized Richardson ISD’s Invention Convention program, and he creates lessons that are engaging, fun and memorable.
Also receiving honors were five other educators recognized for their passion, enthusiasm and dedication. Each will receive $250 and each school will receive $100.
