During the East Allen County Schools Board of School Trustees meeting on Tuesday, November 7th, State Representative Dave Heine and Senator Tyler Johnson surprised and presented the Governor’s Distinguished Hoosier Award to Superintendent Marilyn Hissong.
The Distinguished Hoosier has been awarded by Governors for more than fifty (50) years to recognize outstanding Indiana residents. The Distinguished Hoosier is meant for those who distinguish themselves by significant contributions to their communities, and whose qualities and actions endear them in the hearts and minds of Hoosiers.
Representative Heine stated, “Superintendent Hissong was very instrumental in getting the ‘Transition to Teaching’ program passed at State level. She’s respected by all of us down at thenState. We are very proud of her and so glad she’s, our Superintendent.”
Superintendent Hissong was overwhelmed with joy and appreciation. She said, “It takes all of us working together for all students. Thank you, Governor Holcomb, for this prestigious award.”
