I would definitely have to say Faridodin "Fredi" Lajvardi, Ledge has got to be one of the most influential and dedicated teachers I've ever had the pleasure to meet/work with. He managed to coordinate our whole team through 3 regionals, championships, a NURC (National Underwater Robotics Competition) competition, and an FLL competition (which we also hosted) in '07 alone. I'm sure I'm missing events in there, but those were the major ones. To be able to do that and still manage a life with his family at home is beyond me. I'm only 18 but I doubt I'd ever have the energy to keep up with him.

I would normally add our two mentors, Jerry Little and Karen Suhm too, but since I had to pick one, I picked the one that is a teacher at the school.
