Senator Lugar has partnered with the Indiana State Teacher’s Association (ISTA) on an exciting new initiative to spotlight memorable teachers.

They are reaching out to Hoosiers across the state to share stories of their most memorable teachers to be posted on the video or essay pages.  Be it a classroom teacher, parent, coach, or friend, please share with others your story of a person that has made a significant difference in your life.

Watch Senator Lugar's favorite teacher memory, along with ISTA's President, Vice President and Treasurer, on the video page.

Several Hoosiers have shared their written memories already, and those are posted on the essay page.

Please watch and read these stories, and send your own favorite teacher memory.

Senator Lugar and the ISTA hope that your story will encourage others to reflect on the people who have served as teachers in their own lives, and seek ways that they may serve as teachers themselves.
