Mark Julien, First Milken Educator of 2013–14

 

 

Regaining his composure from the shock of the surprise, Mark gets interviewed by TV, radio and newspaper reporters. Ever humble and perfectly eloquent, Mark sums up the moment, how he got here and his hope for the future.

"I’m here, the product of a working class family, first-generation in college, because of great teachers. We’re trying to offer the same opportunities for a better future for our kids. I think if the American dream is alive, it’s in schools."

We couldn't have said it any better.
