Congratulations, Michael Hughes, proudly honored as the Rotary Club of Benicia's Teacher of the Month! 👏👏👏
Mr. Hughes has served as an English Language Arts and Journalism teacher at Benicia High School since 2014. Throughout his tenure, he has taught over 1,200 Benicia students, alongside guiding numerous others in clubs and community groups. For the past decade, Mr. Hughes has had the privilege of advising the student newspaper, The Paw—a 40-year-old platform for student expression. He is deeply proud to preserve this vital outlet for young voices, working to ensure that Benicia remains a community where young people—including his own three children—feel valued, inspired, and heard. Thank you for all that you continue to do, Mr. Hughes!
