A Maryland teacher is the latest winner of the prestigious Milken Educator Award and the $25,000 prize that comes with it.
Maggie Hawk is a teacher at Yellow Springs Elementary School in Frederick. It is the same school where Hawk was a student when she was in elementary school.
"She struggled in school. She had a first-grade teacher that told her she can make it, that she can be successful," said Mike Milken, co-founder of the Milken Family Foundation.
Hawk said it was her first-grade teacher who inspired her to get into the profession. She said she struggled with dyslexia as a child, but her family and teachers helped her succeed.
