NORWOOD PARK — Taft High School's teachers of the month for September not only get bragging rights — but they also get the best parking spots on campus.

Principal Mark Grishaber picked Advanced Placement Human Geography teacher Linda Bhavilai and counselor James Nicklas as teachers of the month for the Norwood Park school, 6530 W. Bryn Mawr Ave.

Both "embody the spirit and commitment to excellence that make us proud to have them on our staff," according to a statement from school officials.

Grishaber gave up the principal's parking spot in order to honor a teacher every month when he took the top job at the school in July 2014.

Grishaber accepts nominations for teacher of the month via email.
