On Saturday, October 28, 2017, my life was forever changed when the Illinois State Board of Education announced me as the 2018 Illinois Teacher of the Year! Below is a video of the moment that changed my life, as well as my acceptance speech.
I have created this website to document what will undoubtedly be an unforgettable year. I am looking forward to all that 2018 has in store!
Such a deserving young lady. As your “2nd” mom, I am so extremely proud of you. You have made your home town of Mt. Vernon, Illinois, and your grade school (Summersville Grade School) and high school (Mt. Vernon Township High School) so extremely proud of you too! Wishing you the best year ever as you take on this role as Illinois Teacher of the Year!
