The Rotary Club of Chattanooga Hamilton Place continued its tradition this year of recognizing influential educators who have a positive influence on their student’s educational experience, naming Middle School's Mr. Evan Pierce as one of this year's influential educators. 8th grader AJ McInnis (left) represented his peers at the luncheon and introduced Mr. Pierce to the room full of Rotarians.
