Ag teachers honored by hall of fame

Posted

Two retired Wood County ag teachers have been inducted into the Agriculture Teachers Association of Texas Hall of Fame.

Glen Dossett of Mineola and Gary Don Chandler of Quitman were honored in Dallas at the ATAT conference Friday.

Chandler served Quitman ISD for 33 years while Dossett spent 50 years in education, almost all of that at his alma mater, Mineola.

According to the ATAT website, “The hall exists to recognize and honor agricultural science teachers whose careers, achievements, and contributions stand exemplary. Inductees are known as well-rounded professionals that have proven their success with FFA activities, in the classroom, as well as community involvement. They have proven their desire to provide students with opportunities for premier leadership, personal growth and career success over a significant period of time.”
