LOWDEN — North Cedar High School gained numerous staff members in 2013, including a new shop teacher.Steven Spicher has been teaching shop classes for the last 30 years and has taught at three other high schools — Mount Vernon, Marshall and Marshfield High School in Missouri. At Mount Vernon High School, Spicher taught North Cedar’s previous shop teacher.Spicher teaches six classes at North Cedar, including construction projects, welding and metals, drafting and wood works, introduction to engineering, energy power and civil engineering.“Drafting and wood works is my favorite class to teach because the students first design their work and then build it,” Spicher said.Each class has one large project that takes up a substantial portion of the year.
