I have known many people in Fishers that have worked at improving civic education, and Mike Fassold is on the short list of people making a difference.  Mike was recently awarded the Champion of Civic Education Award from the Indiana Bar Foundation.

i have known Mike for many years.  One of my proudest moments was helping to prepare his We The People Fishers Junior High team for national competition.  That team won a national championship, and Mike’s teams would win many more.

Mike recently retired from teaching but has remained active.  I can think of a handful of people that have made civic education a cause.  Civic education often means civic involvement once these students become adults.

Congratulations, Mike, on a well-deserved honor!
