CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A West Oso High School teacher now has some major bragging rights.
Chandler Davis has been named the most outstanding social studies teacher in the state.
On Monday, he was presented with the Frank Kemerer award by the ED311, Texas Association of Secondary School Principals.
Davis has been a teacher for seventeen years and has spent the last seven at West Oso High School teaching U.S. History and AP U.S. History. He also serves as the head of the social studies department at the school.
