We stopped by for a chat with BRENDAN JENNINGS, shown here conducting one of the school’s choirs. Here’s what he had to say about working with these talented students. Q&a 10 California Educator | JUNE 2011 EDUCATOR: What is the most rewarding aspect of your job? BRENDAN JENNINGS: Working with high school students who challenge and amaze me every day. They are so willing to give their effort and energy, especially when you get them excited about a project or goal. What is the biggest challenge? The challenges of my job shift daily. Educational bureaucracy, keeping the kids focused on success across their aca- demics, working with a booster club, and plain old lesson planning are among the biggest. >> Photo by Scott Buschman
