Congratulations to Katlin Sullins, GEC 3rd Grade teacher, for winning the Kansas Horizon Award. The Kansas Horizon Award program allows all school districts in the state an opportunity to nominate one elementary and one secondary teacher for the award. To be eligible for the award, teachers must have successfully completed their first year of teaching and have performed in such a way as to distinguish themselves as outstanding.
This honor was awarded to 43 Kansas elementary schools in recognition of their high academic achievement. To be given this award, schools must have reached the Standard of Excellence in both reading and mathematics for 2011. They must also have met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) in both reading and mathematics along with high level of attendance. Congratulations Mustangs!
