Alisha Butler, a visionary educator from Baton Rouge and the 2027 Louisiana Teacher of the Year, is making national waves with her rare Unified English Braille certification—fewer than 500 educators in the U.S. hold it. Honored at the Cecil J. Picard Educator Excellence Awards Gala, Butler, who dreamed of teaching since first grade, received a new Mercedes-Benz and celebrated alongside Louisiana’s top principal, Lauren Williams Rentrop, as the state recognizes its most dedicated educators.
