“I’m not the natural, dynamic individual, but I am, I think, the person who’s aware of students and their potential,” Utah's Teacher of the Year said. “I can help them find their niche.”
Chad Warnick, a teacher at Delta Technical Center in Millard School District, says hands-on instruction is the best way to help students reach their potential.
“You will [help young people],” Warnick remembers the advisor saying. “But if you really want to do that, you’ll do more of it as a teacher.” Warnick worked with the advisor to create a degree plan to become an agriculture teacher and FFA advisor.After 17 years of teaching at Delta Technical Center, Warnick was named Utah’s newest Teacher of the Year last week. Winning the award was “overwhelming,” he said.
He applied for her position and has taught animal sciences, biology and communication courses at the extension to his alma mater, Delta High School, ever since. Students there and at Millard High School earn credit toward graduation at the center, while adults can join them in some classes or can take college classes from USU.

Warnick’s vision for the center would never have reached fruition without the support of Delta residents and school administrators, he said. It’s something that he thinks, perhaps, could only happen in a small town.
