A west Michigan educator is the state’s Teacher of the Year.
Tracy Horodyski of Kenowa Hills Public Schools received the award Friday from the Michigan Department of Education.
Horodyski is a reading interventionist and literacy coach at Zinser Elementary.
The department says she has 16 years of educational experience and was selected out of 178 Michigan nominees.
In a statement, Michigan Superintendent Brian Whiston calls her an “extraordinary representative of our Michigan teachers and the positive impact they make on our schoolchildren.”
Another Kenowa Hills teacher – Delia Bush of Alpine Elementary – was one of three other state finalists.
