A special school-wide assembly turned into the surprise of a lifetime for Spaulding High School teacher Katie Sedore on Friday.
She was presented with the 2013 Milken Educator Award, which is a national award.
The prestigious award is given to teachers relatively early in their careers. Recipients are nominated by their peers. And the award comes with a no-strings-attached $25-thousand dollar check.
Sedore spoke with Vermont Edition about the award.
