Being Teacher of the Year for Hamilton Southeastern Schools, the 4th largest school district in the state, is quite an honor.  Being a top ten finalist for Indiana State Teacher of the Yea is an even bigger honor.  Both are true for Maria Kussy, a Media Specialist at Brooks School Elementary School.

I spoke to Maria Kussy on September 23rd as she awaited word on whether she is still in the running for Indiana Teacher of the Year.
