THE TEACHER exudes a "contagious enthusiasm," one administrator says. "His creativity inspires students to follow through on their ideas," a parent adds.Yet the cliches can hardly convey Robert Foor-Hogue's contributions to Carroll kids.Mr. Foor-Hogue, a science teacher with 23 years experience, has spent the last 17 years at South Carroll High where his hands-on style is lauded by students and fellow faculty alike.The county Board of Education has named him its nominee for state Teacher of the Year.

Robert Foor-Hogue, a South Carroll High School science teacher, is one of seven semifinalists for Maryland Teacher of the Year.Foor-Hogue has been one of the pioneers statewide in infusing science classes with real-world applications. He and his science research students have developed tank systems that can be used to raise fish in the classroom. Students design research projects around the fish and their habitat.South Carroll is among the first high schools to use aquaculture as a way to teach science, rather than only as a form of agriculture.

Students from South Carroll High School have approval to design and construct the only student exhibit at Columbus Center, the $147 million marine biotechnology complex at the Inner Harbor.Robert Foor-Hogue's science research classes have been working for more than a year on a proposal after an invitation from J. Adam Frederick, marine education specialist at the center.Frederick, a former high school science teacher in Frederick County, knew of Foor-Hogue's pioneering use of aquaculture -- raising fish -- as a medium for teaching scientific research.

Robert Foor-Hogue, known throughout the county for his bold teaching style and emphasis on real-life science, is the school board's nominee for state Teacher of the Year.The county Board of Education announced the nomination of the teacher at its meeting last night. The statewide winner will be chosen in the fall."Bob is like a Pied Piper with kids flocking to wherever he goes," Gary Dunkleberger, county assistant superintendent of instruction, said in a letter nominating Foor-Hogue.Dunkleberger noted that when Foor-Hogue joined the science staff at South Carroll High School, chemistry enrollment was so low that it constituted less than a full teaching assignment.

Winning the honor of Maryland Teacher of the Year last night completed a triple crown for Robert Foor-Hogue, a Carroll County science teacher making waves with his bold, innovative style of teaching.Three days earlier, he won a $25,000 award from the Milken Family Foundation for his work. And this summer, he learned that he and his class will mount the first student-built exhibit at Columbus Center, the multi-million marine biotechnology center at the Inner Harbor."I'm overwhelmed, and I feel truly honored, said Foor-Hogue, 47, a resident of Millers in northern Carroll County.

Science teacher Robert Foor-Hogue, whose students are always raising money for one project or another, has found a new way to bring in dollars for South Carroll High School.He is this year's statewide winner of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science and Mathematics Teaching.The award, for secondary science, gives him $7,500 to spend on his school. He also will spend a week of March in Washington, and get to meet the president during a Rose Garden ceremony at the White House."I'll use it for equipment," he said of the prize money.

OCEAN CITY -- Sunday afternoon, charter boat captains, fishermen and their families were gathered in the shade of the Flying Fish Saloon, awaiting the weigh-ins on the final day of the Ocean City Tuna Tournament.Now, one might have expected the focus of the small, vocal crowd at the Ocean City Fishing Center to be centered on tuna. Instead, most eyes were on a set of television screens, on which the NASCAR race at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pa., was being shown. It was a race in which Rusty Wallace was challenging for the lead to the great delight of a bartender with a pair of large, silver earrings.
