Former Horizon High School teacher Kathrine Kouns is a finalist for the first-ever Music Educator of the Year award.

U2, Michael Jackson, Adele, these are the kinds of names we typically associate with the Grammy Awards, but every one of those artists was inspired by someone, usually a teacher. That is where Kathrine Kouns comes in. The former Horizon High School teacher and choral director is one of 10 finalists for Music Educator of the Year at the 2014 Grammy Awards.
