Excellence in Education: Ted Marthakis from Evart High School

This week’s Michigan Lottery Excellence in Education winner is Ted Marthakis from Evart High School. Congratulations.

Q: Tell me what inspires you. I understand it’s probably the students, right?

A: It is. And and if you have a heart for the students, you know, they’ll recognize that right away. They want to know that you care first and foremost. And if you’ve got that part of it down, then, you know, again, they may not like math, but at least they know you care, and they’re going to be receptive to you.

Ted from Evart 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.
