Teacher of the Year at CRHS

David Moore

As a science teacher and Department Chair at Caesar Rodney High School, David has 24 years teaching experience. David received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology Education from the University of Delaware and a Master's degree in Science Education from Delaware State University. When asked why he became a teacher, Mr. Moore replied, “I was the type of student who most people would have never thought would be-come a teacher. I was quiet, shy, somewhat withdrawn and only had a few friends in high school. But something I discovered along the way was an ability to synthesize information into understandable segments. My first leadership role was as Drum Captain which allowed me to open up a little bit even though it was my senior year. I guess what has kept me in the teaching profession is what I call the ‘light bulb moments.’ The moment when a student finally, after periods of struggle, gets the in-formation or better yet when a student discovers that they can achieve success even though at first they believed that they wouldn't.”
