Horace Mann thanks educators during American Education Week

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Nov. 13, 2015

"A special connection with a teacher, principal, librarian, counselor or coach often is what motivates a student," said Horace Mann President and CEO, Marita Zuraitis.

That's why we are saying thanks to educators during American Education Week."
