A teacher at Thurgood Marshall Elementary School in Rockford has been honored as a Hometown Hero for her constant devotion to brightening students' lives.

Besides being a mom and high school teacher, this week's Hometown Hero works tirelessly as an EMS volunteer teaching life-saving skills to her community.
