Haas says about his profession that, “teaching provides me with a deep satisfaction that comes from making a difference in the life of another.”
Haas has a B.A. from Wayne State University. Along with being an ABE/GED instructor, he is a school LAN administrator, pre-vocational instructor, pre-release instructor and harassment coordinator.
"We are extremely proud of Bob and his accomplishments here at Scott," said Warden Joan Yukins. "He is a dedicated educator and serves the department and the educational process well."
