HOUSTON, Minn. (WKBT) – A Houston High School teacher is helping her students find joy in the classroom. Education changed drastically over the past year, but one thing remains constant. July’s Top Notch teacher understands how important relationships are, especially now.

“I’m not gonna lie that last two years have been the most difficult ever in 13 years,” Mathers said.
