TOPEKA — Jodee Nickell, a Family and Consumer Sciences teacher at Humboldt High School, is being recognized for outstanding teaching.
She is one of 32 educators from Kansas recognized with the 2024 Kansas Horizon Award, announced recently by the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE).
The educators will be honored at a special ceremony during the Kansas Exemplary Educators Network (KEEN) State Education Conference on Feb. 23 in Topeka.
The Kansas Horizon Award program, sponsored by KSDE, allows all school districts in the state 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.
Four elementary and four secondary classroom teachers may be selected for the award from each region. Nickell represents Region 2.
