History teacher Kevin Roulhac won the 2014 Kansas Horizon Award last Thursday. The award recognizes exemplary first-year teachers.
Roulhac applied for the prestigious award at the beginning of this year. The award is provided by the Kansas State Department of Education and Kansas Cable Telecommunications Association.The nominees are required to have taught for a year after applying with a distinguishable way of teaching.
“I’m hardworking, flexible, and open to getting to know kids,” Roulhac said.
He also said that winning this award makes him feel excited and it’s reassuring to know that he may be doing some things correctly.
Roulhac and elementary school teacher Kristina Sims, from Maize Central Elementary, will be recognized in Feb. at a banquet during the Kansas Exemplary Educators Network Conference in Topeka.
