PHOENIX – Frank Contreras, a 12-year Army veteran who retired as a sergeant, ran a team of five troops who worked in the communications department. But he recently decided on a career he said is just as heroic – and one he believes will have a lasting impact: teaching.
“The future of our nation rests in the education of our children,” Contreras said. “So, this is actually the bBringinattlefield of today…this is my service now.”
Contreras is part of a program that aims to bring veterans into the classroom – as teachers.
