There’s the Milken Educator family, made up of nearly 2,600 outstanding educators around the country, five of whom—including Dr. Gary Stark (AR ’01)—came to celebrate this day with her; and then there’s the extended Milken Educator family, comprised of school officials, politicians and heads of organizations that are committed to passionate teachers like Kristi and the work that they do.
