Willowbrook Middle School teacher is Golden Apple award winner
Hayley Gotzsche, a choir and theater teacher at Willowbrook Middle School in South Beloit, is a 2026 recipient of the Golden Apple Teacher Award. She is a teacher of 10 years. Gotzsche is the sole music and theater educator at Willowbrook, offering extracurricular opportunities such as the spring musical, a seasonal caroling ensemble, solo and small ensemble, Broadway Club and the Music in the Parks competition. Gotzsche on teaching “I feel that the results of [my] commitment are evident in the excitement, passion and dedication of [my] students. Not only has the choral program continued to grow and improve, but the students openly accepted the implementation of a theater class for 6th, 7th and 8th graders into their elective rotation. I was unsure how students would receive a theater class, especially at such a vulnerable time as middle school, but the students were able to successfully buy in, knowing my classroom is a safe environment where they can make mistakes, be silly and express themselves without judgment. My passion for the subject has been matched and returned by the students.” This article originally appeared on Rockford Register Star: Willowbrook Middle School teacher is Golden Apple award winner
