NAPERVILLE, IL — A Naperville teacher has been chosen as a finalist for the 2023 Golden Apple Awards for Excellence in Teaching.

Horner was also an attendee at the Illinois Gifted Conference.
Horner is among 30 finalists for the awards, which are given out annually to recognize teachers who have made a significant difference in the lives of their students.
