Ben Butler- DPS Celebrates Black Excellence- BHM

Ben is as passionate about theater and art and literature as he is about football and sports and is as sensitive and sentimental on the football field as he is tough in the classroom. He is constantly working on both his curriculum and instruction, striving to provide rigorous as well as authentic and meaningful engagement opportunities in his classroom and in Manual’s theater program. He also runs an incredibly inclusive boys’ varsity football program where he focuses on character development as much as he does fitness. He advocates for equity in the building and most recently played a huge role in the re-development of the Humanities’ department writing rubric to be better aligned with our grading for equity practices. Ben is someone both students and adults turn to in the building for advice, support, a laugh or a happy hour after a long work week. He says he doesn’t know how he does it all, but he knows the more he puts in the more he gets out.
