    Clint Ambos This will be my 14th year teaching, 4th year at EDUPRIZE. I earned my bachelor’s degree from St. Joseph’s College, in New York. I have taught all over the valley, working with students from 7th grade up to 12th grade. In years past, I have worked closely with Special Olympics and Unified Sports. I also enjoy coaching baseball and softball. I look forward to another successful year here at EDUPRIZE. Tino Asghar Born and raised in India I moved to the United States in December of 2001 and for the past 16 years I have been a math teacher. I have found it to be the most rewarding career of my life. My passion for teaching started at a young age. My mother was an English teacher, and seeing the impact she was able to make in the lives of young people really inspired me. As a young man I pursued a career in engineering. I focused on new engineering methods and technologies. I made the control rooms of power plans operational. I also taught the knowledge I had gained of technology to my technicians and junior engineers. This mentorship reminded me how much I loved to teach and helped to shape my future career. When I arrived in the United States all of the engineering companies that I wanted to try and work with were going out of business which made it very difficult to find an engineering job. I remembered my passion for teaching and at that point I made it a goal to pursue my dream job.

  • Sample Press Release
    Gilbert, Arizona (March 6, 2017) – Gilbert Sister Cities announces this year’s winners of its annual high school youth exchange to Leshan, China and Antrim-Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland. The high school youth exchange program offers juniors in high school who reside in Gilbert or are a student in a Gilbert or Higley school, an opportunity to develop an understanding of different countries, their cultures and people. The high school delegates are chosen by a committee through a selection process, which includes group interviews, a series of individual interviews and informal gatherings with both the students and their parents. The students travel to our sister city for approximately three weeks. During their stay they will have a chance to closely experience a new culture and make lifelong friends by living with the family of their exchange “brother or sister.” The home hosted experience makes it possible for the delegates to learn about their host cultures and customs in ways not available to a casual visitor. The Gilbert delegates will bring back a wealth of fascinating stories about their stay abroad, their contacts with the people and the precious experiences, which teach them lifelong lessons. This year Lauren Smith and Nathan Greenlee, both from Camp Verde High School, will be visiting China. Elizabeth Curtis of Campo Verde High School has been selected as an alternate. • Lauren Smith is active in: Tri-M music honor society, Link Crew, Advanced Women’s Chorale, Girl Scouts, Linked Out, Paws for a Cause, Community outreach. Her hobbies include: Music, Travel, Family • Nathan Greenlee is active in: Link Crew, Math Club, Spanish Honors Society, Wind Ensemble (Band), Member of Arizona Arsenal (soccer), Physics Club, Varsity Soccer Team.
