Love Creek Elementary School substitute teacher Diana Hoenen was recently named the recipient of the October Going the Extra Mile Award from the Cape school board. 

Board member Jason Bradley said Hoenen is dedicated and hardworking.

“Diana consistently goes above and beyond in her role, providing a stable, engaging and supportive learning environment for our scholars,” he said during the Nov. 14 school board meeting.
