Excellence in Education: Matt McLouth from Decatur Public Schools

This week’s Michigan Lottery Excellence in Education winner is Matt McLouth from Decatur Public Schools. Congratulations.

Q: What advice would you have for other administrators or teachers?

A: There’s so much, so much emphasis placed on curriculum and that’s extremely important. But I started off teaching high school science in Decatur for 17 years. It really comes down to the relationships that you build with kids.

Matt from Decatur Junior-Senior High School receives a $2,000 check from the lottery commissioner, Suzanna Shkreli.

Excellence in Education Awards, sponsored by the Michigan Lottery, providing more than $28 billion to public education since 1972.
