Business Education Teacher and Former Basketball Coach
Mountlake Terrace High School
Snohomish County
Nalin has been at Mountlake Terrace for 51 years, first as a student, then as a teacher and coach. He followed his own high school coach into the job and spent 37 years passing on what he was given. For decades, the school gymnasium was where the town came together.
"Young people need to see somebody who looks like them in that role, so they know they can do it. Now I've got former students going into teaching, and when I hear them talk about it, that's everything."
