Kimberly Eckert, 2018 Louisiana Teacher of the Year, spoke to Rotary Club of Natchitoches at its meeting Feb. 6 about the activities she is involved in as Teacher of the Year.

Kimberly just returned from Google Headquarters in California where she participated in professional development with every state’s Teacher of the Year. She encouraged the Rotarians to support teachers and to guide students into education. Kimberly earned undergraduate and graduate degrees from Northwestern State University and recently received the Nth Degree, an award in which NSU recognizes remarkable service and/or achievement by alumni or friends of the university.
