The Teacher of Technology: Mr. Rencher

Springville Junior High has been a very lucky school since 1992, because Mr. David Rencher has been a teacher here for eighteen years. He says he enjoys his job of teaching technology classes. No wonder, before he was a teacher, he said he wanted to be an architect and a carpenter, among other things. Mr. Rencher “has a good mind about technology,” according to Oscar Portillo, a former student of Mr. Rencher’s.

Mr. Rencher’s classes are part of a state program called Career and Technical Education (CTE). In CTE, students learn about different things they can do when they grow up and how they can do them. Mr. Rencher teaches about careers involving things like construction, architecture, design, and some other things, like film-making.
