The 33-year old Heath is taking his former high school choir teacher, Bobby Jean Frost. Heath is up for three awards, including best contemporary Christian album for "Leaving Eden" and contemporary Christian song and performance for "Your Love." Frost taught at Nashville's Hillsboro High School for 31 years and had Heath for four of them. Heath said that teaching can be one of the most thankless jobs, but that there are special teachers who make a difference.
"I thought she kind of gave me a gift when I was young and had a vision that I could succeed in music," said Heath. "So I wanted to just show her that she was right."
Frost calls it a huge honor to be going to the Grammys with Heath, and said: "When your students do succeed, it is not a thankless job."
