In cooperation with the Mayor's office and City Council, the Rotary Club of Okla. City recognizes an outstanding teacher in our community.
Faisal Madni is the Physical Education and Health Teacher at Wheeler Middle School, where he consistently seeks innovative ways to engage his students, presenting challenging and thought-provoking lessons that inspire and motivate students to become healthier both physically and mentally.  He exemplifies the qualities of an outstanding teacher through his passion for education, commitment to his students, and his unwavering dedication to fostering a positive and enriching learning environment. Faisal goes above and beyond by leading after-school clubs, providing students with opportunities to explore their interests and develop new skills. His holistic approach to education ensures that his students not only excel with their health goals but also grow into well-rounded individuals.
Faisal’s contributions to the academic and personal growth of his students, as well as his commitment to fostering a positive school community, are truly unparalleled.
Faisal has twice received the prestigious recognition as a finalist for Oklahoma City Public Schools District Teacher of the Year.   Congratulations, Faisal!
