Teacher Spotlight: Mrs. Houtz By Kailer Morales

This week’s teacher spotlight is Mrs. Terri Houtz.

Mrs. Houtz has been living in Elkhart since the day she was born. She has worked in the high school for 27 years. At first, she didn’t want to be a teacher, but it slowly started to grow on her as she was doing her teacher classes. Her most favorite memory from all of her years of teaching was when the teachers made a video to the song “Schools Out For Summer” at the end of that school year.
