Global Teacher Prize

Tuesday, 1 March 2016

One local high school wants to say good luck to one of their teachers before he travels halfway across the world!

Effingham Unit 40 School District is planning a sendoff for their high school media teacher Joe Fatheree, who's a top 10 finalist for the Global Teacher Prize. 

Officials say the award is considered the Nobel Prize for teaching.

A single winner will receive a $1 million prize at the Global Education and Skills Forum in Dubai.

Superintendent Mark Doan says the reception is March 4th at the Effingham High School Hearts Rock Cafe starting at 3:45.

Doan says the event is open to the public.
