On Monday, April 1, the student body at Mansfield High School were joined by family, friends, and members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars for a presentation to honor Kimberly Boyd as the VFW State High School Teacher of the Year.
The Smart/Maher VFW State Teacher of the Year award was presented by State VFW Commander, Teddy Pipkin. Speakers included Justin Weaver, Commander of VFW Post 8245 and Sherry Barnes, VFW Post 8245 Auxiliary President.
