Bethanie Whittaker, a member of Pekin High’s Special Education and English Departments, was recently named
the Illinois Council for Exceptional Children Clarissa Hug Teacher of the Year. The ICEC states, “This award is
the most prestigious honor bestowed on a teacher of students with exceptionalities from the State of Illinois.”
Bethanie was chosen for this award because she is currently involved in the provision of direct services to students
with exceptionalities and has demonstrated qualities the ICEC feels are exemplary in increasing student
achievement. The ICEC Executive Board of Directors presented Bethanie her award at their annual fall conference
in October 2011 and she will be given a stipend by ICEC to represent Illinois as the state winner at the CEC
