Newcomerstown High School Principal Grant Fauver recently described Ian Morrow as a respected teacher and coach, and tremendous asset to Newcomerstown schools, regarding Morrow's recognition.

Morrow was recently honored as the Newcomerstown district’s Outstanding High School Teacher of the Year by Coalition of Rural and Appalachian Schools at Ohio University Zanesville.

"I work in a school district that, while small, is filled with amazing educators at every level, and I'm just happy to be recognized as one of them," Morrow said. "I hope that we can continue to highlight the teachers in our school district and the great things that they're doing both in and outside of the classroom. Thank you for the love and support, I really value and appreciate it."
