Sloan Neuburger, a North Henderson High School teacher of exceptional children, was announced as the Henderson County Teacher of the Year at a luncheon today at the Hendersonville Country Club.

Neuburger has taught in the HCPS for 14 years.

"I didn't come to this luncheon thinking that in a million years my name would be called," she said. "The key is that I reflect North and the teachers that I work with give everything to the kids and when you're around that you're inspired to do the same."
