You have the opportunity to vote for Will Armour, a 2014 graduate of Union University, for America’s Favorite Teacher! Voting closes tonight at 6 PM PDT—don’t miss your chance to show your support!

"Will Armour is a dedicated music educator currently serving at Indian Hills Elementary School in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, where he has inspired students for the past five years. With over a decade of teaching experience, he has also shared his passion for music education in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, and within Lake County Schools in Tennessee.

A 2014 graduate of Union University, Will earned his Bachelor of Music Education before advancing his studies with a Master of Music Education from Campbellsville University. His commitment to fostering creativity and a love of music in young learners has been a hallmark of his career.

Will is currently competing in the America’s Favorite Teacher competition, hosted by Colossal, where educators advance through public voting. Having already progressed through two rounds, he is now seeking support from his alma mater and community as he continues in the competition.

The grand prize includes $25,000, a trip to Hawaii, a feature in Reader’s Digest magazine, and a special visit from Bill Nye the Science Guy to the winning teacher’s school. Any of these opportunities would have a meaningful and lasting impact on both Will and the students he serves."
