LAKE LINDEN Heather French has the only job she’s ever wanted.
“I can’t picture myself being a nurse, an airplane pilot, or anything else,” she said. “I’ve always wanted to be a teacher … because we’re a small school and they have me several times, I really get to know them over the years.”
Now, she’s not just a teacher, but the teacher of the year. French, who teaches English and visual arts at Lake Linden-Hubbell MIddle-High School, was named as Region 1 Teacher of the Year by the Michigan Department of Education this month. The region encompasses the Upper Peninsula.

“We have just applied for funds from the state of Michigan to run the program,” said Patchin.
The programs will operate Monday – Thursday each week, from 9 a.m. Noon and include lunch for all students. Sessions will begin June 21 and end August 12.
“These fun and engaging learning experiences will be held for all K-12 students interested in participating from the participating districts,” Patchin said. “The high school learning programs will be, course, specific and count toward graduation requirements. All learning programs will be taught face-to-face.”
In addition to the Northern Lights Summer Program, there will also be the Northern Lights Summer Adventure Program, for which, said Patchin, funding has already been applied.
