This week’s Michigan Lottery Excellence in Education winner is Brett Metzger from Brown City Junior Senior High School.

Metzger said he enjoys giving his students opportunities to learn through active engagement.

“We do capstone projects in our Geometry in Construction,” he said. “The first year I ran it at Brown City, we did a chicken coop. Seeing them work out angles and understanding where the Pythagorean theorem actually plays out in real life, and understanding, hey, that’s how you square building is a pretty neat thing to see.”

Brett from Brown City High School receives a $2,000 check from Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. Excellence in Education Awards sponsored by the Michigan Lottery, providing more than $29 billion to public education since 1972.
