Teaching is the family business for Stephen Gold.

His mom worked as an elementary school teacher in Volusia County for 35 years. His father was an athletic director at several local high schools. His sister teaches at a local middle school, and his grandfather worked as a principal from the 1960s to the 1980s — and was an assistant principal at the very school Gold now works at.

Mainland High School, where Gold was named Teacher of the Year. It was seeing their impact firsthand that motivated him to become an educator himself, he said in a statement to the Observer.
