The Vermilion County Hero for May 2023 is Michael Franey.
He was nominated by Mallory Franey, who says …
“Michael is an effective role model to the students and athletes in District 118. Michael leads by example in his classroom, on the football field, and track. He motivates and believes in his students and athletes sometimes more than they do. Michael is very professional, smart, and compassionate in his work. He has a strong work ethic in that he does not let his students or athletes give up on themselves. He explains the importance of never giving up and putting in 100%. I also coach track with Michael and I see first-hand such a strong impact he leaves on his athletes. I feel it is important to recognize the great work he is implementing into the young adults in District 118.”
