Stephen Neufeld has been teaching at NBCHS since 1996! Not only is he a gifted Welding and trades instructor, he has also taught in just about every high school subject area over his 27 years at the school. Stephen gained valuable trades experience on his journey to being the gifted instructor we know today by working in machine shops and on drilling rigs in his summers following high school. Even more important than his trade and academic skills, Stephen is known for having a heart the size of a vintage Volkswagen Van. One of the influences that has helped to shape this was his year-long experience working in southern Brazil where he helped transport students living on the street back and forth to school. With a sense of adventure, a love for family and a genuine care for students, Stephen is an exceptional educator and I am blessed to call him a neighbour and friend. Listen in to this episode of NBCHS Over Coffee to get to know Stephen on a little deeper level, and find out the best places to stop if you are ever planning a road trip from here to Central America!
