With a constant smile on his face and always willing to help you, Mr. Stergios Kambouris has been a teacher of the High School Practical Training Program for more than 18 years and in charge of the Environmental Program for preschool and primary education students since 2011.

An AFS graduate himself, he was never able nor did he desire to leave the American Farm School. His course of life was “inevitable” as he puts it and he is eternally grateful for that. Being close to nature and working with young minds is the reason he continues to love his job like he did on the first day.

The School has shaped him on both a personal and a professional level. As a student he was taught to love the environment and work methodically, while, as an employee, he learned how to cooperate and selflessly give to others.  

His memories are countless and most of them were created at the residence halls.  He made friends through school trips, hikes and other activities – friendships that still last – and developed a strong bond with his teachers.

Stergios Kambouris is greatly appreciated by colleagues and students. A testimony to that was the “Employee of the Year” award he received by the President in 2017. Today, he continues to serve the American Farm School with all his will.
