Shady Spring teacher named Key Club Adviser of the Year

It came as no surprise that Shady Spring High School teacher Jane Laraba was named Key Club Adviser of the Year. It’s the fifth time she has garnered the award.

“The award is named for Jeff Britton, the Key Club adviser at Woodrow Wilson High School,” Laraba said. “He had been the Key Club adviser for 40 years. He was an excellent adviser, so to get this award is a great honor.”

Laraba said inclusiveness and diversity is one key to Shady Spring’s Key Club success.

“They get to learn about others’ cultures and get exposed to things they might otherwise never be exposed to,” she said. “I found that if teenagers get the opportunity to do good things, that is what they prefer to do.”
