Donna Friend, an English teacher at Hebron High School, was awarded the 2023-2024 Teacher of the Year honor. Friend has now won the award with Hebron twice, the first time being in 2015.
Friend’s path to education was unconventional. She was raised in a household of educators, as both parents worked at her local school district. However, teaching was not initially on her radar, and she considered consulting as a potential career. It was during one of her first observations of a real-life classroom setting that she found her calling.
