Congratulations to Mr. Joel Foust, an outstanding Eastlake engineering teacher, for being awarded the first-ever Dr. Susan Mahler Heart of Service Award by the Eastlake Educational Foundation.
Mr. Foust has served our school community for eleven years, during which he has worked tirelessly to improve and grow our robotics and engineering program for our students. His TitanBot 2543 Team has won awards at every level, both locally and nationally. He has been instrumental in outreach to feeder campuses to build interest in STEM careers and pathways for local students. He creates an incredible sense of family and community in his program that has impacted generations of Titans.
Thank you, Mr. Foust, for your service to our community!

The Dr. Susan Mahler Heart of Service Award was created to honor the leadership and legacy of a lifetime of service to students, education, and the support of the community. Susan was the first Principal at Olympic View Elementary School, a long-time resident of EastLake, and one of the originators of the Eastlake Educational Foundation. Susan passed away in 2022.
A Dr. Susan Mahler scholarship has also been created to support high school students going into the teacher profession and teachers completing their “student teaching” year.
