Gladden is being hailed as a Hyundai Hometown Hero for his extraordinary dedication to students and community — from building real connections at school to rushing into action when a student was hit by a car. Recognized during a school ceremony with a brand-new Hyundai Santa Fe, he’s part of a new wave of officers making a tangible difference, leaving everyone in awe — including his girlfriend and students — as he still can’t believe the honor.
