Eric Cochran, a social studies teacher at Lindbergh High School in St. Louis, Mo., was surprised at an all-school assembly Wednesday with a Milken Family Foundation National Educator Award -- and an unrestricted cash price of $25,000.
The award was presented by Jane Foley, senior vice president of the Milken Family Foundation. Missouri Commissioner of Education Chris L. Nicastro attended the assembly to take part in the surprise announcement. Lindbergh Schools Superintendent Jim Simpson, Principal Ronald Helms, other school and state dignitaries, and family members also were on hand for the event. Cochran is Missouri's only recipient of the prestigious award this year.
