China Spring High School Faculty of the Month

This month, we are excited to recognize Mr. Brad Settles for his exceptional contributions to our academic community. Mr. Settles always looks for creative ideas to share his love for Art to the students that he teaches. From lifesize sculptures of favorite Childrens' books characters or helping paint a dumpster...there is nothing Mr. Settles cannot do.  Additionally, his school spirit is contagious, as there is never a spirit day or pep rally that he does not participate in.  China Spring High School is lucky to have Brad Settles.
