Emporia High teacher Erica Huggard will learn this weekend whether she’s the state’s 2023 teacher of the year.
Huggard and six other finalists will learn the announcement as part of a special reception in Wichita’s Marriott Hotel. The finalists were selected out of more than 110 nominations statewide.
Huggard teaches biology and anatomy at Emporia High, and she has won numerous honors over her 16-year career. She was named a Kansas Master Teacher for the 2019-2020 academic year and a state finalist for the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching in 2021.
