Scholarship winner aspires to teach others

Pamela Cotant:

Nathan Altmann, who earned a scholarship recognizing his perseverance, plans to become a high school teacher in hopes of inspiring other students.

The Sun Prairie High School senior was one of 10 Wisconsin students to receive a 2014 Horatio Alger State Scholarship, which recognizes students who exhibit commitment to continuing their education and serving their communities in the face of adversity. Another area winner is Mary Caroline Tilton of Beaver Dam, who attends Pius XI High School in Milwaukee.

Nathan plans to use the scholarship toward his effort to obtain a degree in music education from UW-Eau Claire and become a high school band teacher.
