Daniel McNeil, a graduate of The Baptist College of Florida (BCF) in Graceville, was selected as "Rookie Teacher of the Year" on January 10, 2012 by the Washington County School Board. McNeil is the band director at Roulhac Middle School in Chipley, Fla., and serves as the Music Minister at Shiloh Baptist Church in Chipley. McNeil graduated from BCF in May 2011 with a double major in Music Education (Instrumental) and Contemporary Worship Ministry.
"BCF prepared me 100% for the real world," stated McNeil. "It helped me spiritually, educationally, and I made friends in the ministry. I would not have been ready without BCF. I landed my church job from BCF, which opened the door to teaching at the middle school."
"I am so excited to hear that Daniel received this award," remarked Ron Branning, BCF's Associate Professor of Music and one of McNeil's primary instructors. "He was an exemplary student, and I am not surprised that he is being recognized as an outstanding teacher. I am proud of his accomplishments and am proud that he is a BCF alumnus."
