When Janet Chandler began teaching at Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) High School, it was a mostly rural school with a relatively small student count.  She saw that change dramatically over the years.  Ms. Chandler is being recognized for her years of service to HSE Schools and her students.

Ms. Chandler was recently honored by the president of the Indiana State Teachers Association with the 2021 Hoosier Educator of the Year Award.  She is the president of the Hamilton Southeastern Education Association and will represent Indiana at the national-level as she competes with teachers across the nation for the National Education Association Foundation Award for Teaching Excellence.

The HSE School Board recognized Ms. Chandler with a trophy Wednesday night.

In addition to serving as the long-time President of the Hamilton Southeastern Education Association, Ms. Chandler coaches the Mock Trial and We The People teams at HSE High School.

HSE Schools produced a video in Ms. Chandler’s honor, which can be viewed on the school district’s Facebook page at this link.
