Stephenson Middle's Teacher of the Year: Eneta Todd

Exceptional Education teacher has been with the school for ten years.

When Eneta Todd walked into Thursday, where she's taught for a decade, she had no idea that she'd spend part of the day wearing a sash and posing for photos.

But that's what happened after an even bigger surprise of the day: she was named 2012-2013 Teacher of the Year.

"I am so elated," said Todd, an Exceptional Education teacher. "I'm really speechless."
