Mr. Shultis has been in the Clover Park School District for 24 years, with his first two years at Clover Park High School, he has been at Lakes High School for the last 22 years. His devotion to the Lakes community has been so great that he received the Rotary Educator Award for the month of April! Shultis received this award for the compassionate and kind environment he has given all of his students. Shultis has multiple Japanese classes that he teaches and outside of the classroom he is the Knowledge Bowl advisor. Shultis has been recognized for the sense of community he brings his students through events such as Japan Fest, while also giving activities to his Knowledge Bowl students and helping them build relationships with their peers.

Along with the award Shultis won, he also received a free lunch and a $100 bill. The last Lakes teacher to win this award was Ms. Matsuda!

Thank you Mr. Shultis for all you do!
