Greenville High Teacher Nominated for California
League of High Schools State Teacher of the Year Award!
/
On Wednesday, January 5th, 2011, Mr. Travis Rubke was s ected as Northern Cali-
fornia's League of High Schools Region 2 Teacher of the Year Award Recipient.
Each year high schools in over 900 California School Districts are asked to participate
in our state's Teacher of the Year program. Competition is considerable throughout the
state with only one finalist from each of the eleven regions making it to the state for final
consideration. The award is given to educators who exemplify educational excellence and
have made significant efforts to implement elements of educational high school reform.
Six finalists were chosen from Region 2. Region 2 includes all of Butte, Glenn, Lassen,
Modoc, Plumas, Siskiyou, Shasta, Tehama, and Trinity counties and is made up of 140
high schools. Mr. Rubke was chosen as the Region 2 Teacher of the year. He will be hon-
ored and present a speech at the California League of High Schools Annual Conference,-
February 25-27, 2011, in Sacramento. Out of the 11 finalists, based on their background
and presentation, one of these nominees will be announced as the High School Teacher
of the Year for the State of California.
Mr. Rubke attended Greenville High School as a student, wrestled and played football,
graduated from Greenville High School where his father was a music teacher. He gradu-
ated from Chico State and returned to teach at Greenville Jr./Sr. High School for his entire
31 year career. He has coached Football and Wrestling. While being the cornerstone of the
Natural Resources Program for GHS, he has taught all the sciences for 31 years -- dab-
bling periodically in U.S History and American Government. In addition, he has served as
the Advisor for the California Scholarship Federation for Greenville High School, and served
on the hospital board in Greenville. Mr. Rubke has dedicated most of his adult life to sup-
porting the students and community of Greenville, California.
Congratulations Mr. Rubke, all of us at Plumas Unified are extremely proud to have you
as a colleague!

Mourn the Loss of a Student.
It is with great sadness that we learned from Scott and Cynthia Lusk on Monday
evening, January 3, that their son Jedidiah Lusk passed away at home in Cromberg, Cal-
ifornia. Jedidiah was a 4th grade student in Mrs. Hochrein's classroom. Jedidiah will be re-
membered as a very happy, joyous boy who brightened up the lives of all he touched at
Pioneer-Quincy Elementary School.
Last year Jedidiah was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. His family, friends and
school supported him throughout this struggle. Although, most of us can only imagine how
it must feel to lose a child or younger sibling, we want Scott, Cynthia, Jessica, and Justin
to know that all of us at Plumas Unified School District have you in our thoughts, and heads.
Sincerely,
Glenn R. Harris, Superintendent PUSD-PCOE
where he enjoyed the friend-
ship of his fellow students but
hated the homework assign-
ments.
A talented skier, Jedidiah
was a member of the Johns-

Fire and Ice. As second-fastest
on the team he constantly
strived to be first.
A passionate lover of the
outdoors, he was a member of
the Bucks Lake Snowdrifters.
Jedidiah found great enjoy-
ment riding his snowmobile
and dirt bike: really fast! He
also enjoyed playing the
fiddle. Jedidiah memorized
O'Keffee Slide on his fiddle
in order to earn his first
snowmobile.
Following in family foot-
steps, Jedidiah passed Rookie
Smokejumper.training as the
class of 2010 and earned a
position as an Alaska Smoke
Jumper with the BLM.
He was also an Honorary
Deputy of the Plumas County
Sheriff's Department and a
S.W.A.T Member. Jedidiah
was an accomplished marks-
man and a safe firearm
handler.
