“She is a dedicated teacher. She goes above and beyond, said Principal William Ziegler.
Also recognized was Deveney, who has earned a Horace Mann-Abraham Lincoln Fellowship.
Deveney was presented with a certificate for the Horace Mann-Abraham Lincoln Fellowship Program and will take part in the program in Lincoln’s hometown of Springfield, Ill.

The fellowship program includes lectures by library staff and Lincoln experts who provide great insight on Lincoln and the Civil War.
The five-day event includes special guided tours at Lincoln's Tomb, Lincoln's Home and the village of New Salem where Lincoln lived in as a young man.
Grauel said, “Mr. Deveney is in for an experience he’ll remember for a lifetime.”
