FEATURE A TEACHER: From cars to the classroom 

While Todd Ballard may be in his first year of teaching at the Montcalm Area Career Center, it’s become evident to his students that their instructor possesses no shortage of knowledge and teaching experience. 

Hired as the MACC’s automotive technology instructor beginning this school year, Ballard brought with him 25 years of teaching experience with previous experience at the Mecosta-Osceola Career Center, Ferris State University and Naperville Central High School.
