On February 7, the Willow Springs Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual banquet, and Willow Springs Schools was proud to celebrate several members of our Bear family who were recognized for their impact on our school and community.
Congratulations to Karis Cochran, who was named Youth of the Year and presented with the honor by her teacher, Megan Wilson. Karis’s dedication, leadership, and positive spirit exemplify what it means to be a Willow Springs Bear.
We also extend a big congratulations to Grant Talburt and Shiloh Walden, who were selected as Educators of the Year. The award was presented by FFA President Katy Spence, recognizing their commitment to student success and agricultural education.
We are incredibly proud of these remarkable individuals who continue to make Willow Springs Schools and our entire community shine.
