Science Teacher Christal Bookhamer Stunned by Lowell Milken and TX Education Commissioner Michael Williams

"I think my heart was going to jump out of my chest as I heard my name called out," says Loflin Middle School science teacher Christal Bookhamer of Joshua, TX. And when she calls her mom with the news of her $25,000 surprise Milken Educator Award, she gets quite a reaction from her, too!
