Ronald Horan
Ronald Stephen Horan (Sydney, 27 August 1924 - 7 September 1999)〔(Macquarie Park Cemetery and Crematorium )〕 was an Australian linguist, educator and author for over forty years. He was the author of language course texts in three languages, both on his own and with two co-authors. He was later in his life an historian, particularly of Fort Street High School in Sydney, Australia. Horan was posthumously awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in 2000, and in 2001 an annual award in French studies was established in his honour, “(the Ron Horan Prize for French )”, through the Faculty of Arts at Sydney University.
==Education and early career==
Ron Horan was born in Sydney, and had his secondary education at Fort Street Boys' High School just before and in the early years of the Second World War. He then entered the Faculty of Arts at the University of Sydney but he interrupted his studies to serve in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) for three years as a radar operator and finally trained as an officer and translator. After the war he completed his Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree, majoring in French (Honours) and German. He later gained a Diploma in Education. After a short appointment at Sydney Boys' High School, his “country service”, he joined the staff of Fort Street, where he taught for 36 years. Many of those years were spent as modern languages master and he later became deputy principal. His teaching subjects were French, German and English.
Throughout his career, Horan demonstrated great practical concern for correct English spelling and grammar. As a practical guide for students he compiled the ''Fort Street Speller'', which is presented to all pupils upon their arrival at the school. This guide has made its way into many avenues of public administration.
Ron Horan has also been actively involved in the broader sphere of education. He served for ten years as a teacher and deputy principal at Eastwood Evening College and then a further 22 years as its principal. With co-authors, he has published French and German language course books, which are widely used in Australia and around the world.
