    ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Submit a Nomination Here! ​ ​ ​ ​   ​ ​ ​ ​ #WarsawInspires Feature of the Week ​ ​ ​ ​ This Tiger Tuesday, we’re celebrating Veronica Helser, a dedicated teacher at the Warsaw Area Career Center, who is inspiring the next generation of educators. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Spotlight: Veronica Helser ​ During our Staff Appreciation Tour, we had the privilege of hearing Mrs. Helser speak about her passion for education and the impact she hopes to make. As an instructor in the education pathway, she provides her students with hands-on experiences and valuable college credit opportunities, helping them take their first steps toward a career in teaching. Her dedication to mentoring and guiding future educators is truly making a difference, and we are grateful for the impact she has on her students and the future of education. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Spotlight: Stevie Saldivar ​ One of the students who has been influenced by Mrs. Helser's class(es) is Stevie Saldivar, a current senior at WCHS. Stevie originally pursued machining and welding, completing that pathway before discovering his true passion—education. In his senior year, Stevie made the decision to switch to the education pathway, earning college credit from Grace College in Mrs. Helser’s class. His passion for special education and his commitment to making a difference in the lives of students with unique learning needs truly stood out. Next year, Stevie will continue his journey at Ancilla College, where he will also play soccer while working toward his goal of becoming a special education teacher. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Both Mrs. Helser and Stevie embody the spirit of Tiger Tuesday—inspiration, passion and the drive to make a difference.
