The Department of Education's own roll · the town's one resident-class state honor
The honor: Indiana's Teacher of the Year is the state's senior teaching honor, kept on the Department of Education's official roll of past winners, and the roll carries exactly one Walkerton line in its whole run from 1967 to 2024: 1987 — Bob Mulligan — John Glenn High School, Walkerton. Mulligan was not one of the roll's marked national finalists (the roll asterisks 1978, 1994, 1996, and 2015), and the honor is printed at the strength the roll gives it: a state winner, seated at the town's high school, on the grantor's own record — the strongest seat an honor can hold in this section, a resident institution's man honored for the work itself. The honest edge: the roll is also the only record of Mulligan this build could reach. The honor is whole; the man's outline waits for the records that hold it, and the People leg takes him up only when they land.
