WISH-TV is Indiana’s education station and honored nine teachers with the Golden Apple Award in the 2022-2023 school year.

The News 8 team collected student, parent, and community member nominations each month, then surprised the winning teachers in class. The award comes with a trophy, a $500 school supply shopping spree to Teachers’ Treasures, and a nomination video featuring their students explaining the teacher’s positive impact.

In the Golden Apple Grand Finale Special, aired Wednesday night on WISH-TV, all nine teachers were invited to the WISH-TV studios for a celebration of their achievements. One teacher was also honored as the Grand Finale Award winner.

Nathaniel Truitt from Hinkle Creek Elementary School in Noblesville was crowned as the Grand Finale Winner on Wednesday night for his “class family” approach to teaching.

After the surprise, he was given another video from his students and a “Summer of Fun” swag bag from WISH-TV.
