Florida STEM Teacher Lukas Hefty Is a Milken Educator

Dignitaries have descended upon Douglas L.

Grego. But they've got an unexpected guest in the wings: Dr. Jane Foley, senior vice president of the Milken Educator Awards, who surprises Lukas Hefty, the school's math and science magnet coordinator, with Florida's 2016-17 Award and a check for $25,000! Watch as the routine assembly turns into a moment Hefty will remember forever.
