LifeChanger of the Year Nominee Profile

Dusty Feather was nominated by his superintendent, Phil Lewis.

Mr. Feather has been the Wildwood Elementary principal for the past nine years. During this time, he has worked tirelessly to meet the needs of teachers, parents, and, most importantly, students. He has done a fantastic job. This year, he has observed his kindergarten students have several unique behaviors. In November, Mr. Feather transformed traditional Kindergarten by creating a new character classroom for students who were unsuccessful in the conventional kindergarten classroom.

"We have seen beneficial results already with the new design. This new classroom is just the latest example of the innovative leadership work that Mr. Feather has fostered for our students," said Lewis.

Mr. Feather has gone above and beyond in many professional areas, but he has also demonstrated LifeChanger status in his personal life at home. Mr. Feather and his wife, Melinda, have taken an at-risk high school student into their home. This student has not only done well, but is thriving. Just last week, this student was inducted into the National Honor Society. Mr. Feather is a difference-maker at school and home! Mr. Feather will go the extra mile to be a LifeChanger!
