In this episode Dr. John Hendron chats with Owen Elsasser, a current high school senior from Nebraska, who serves as Nebraska’s vice president of public relations for Educators Rising. In our conversation, Owen shares his start with Educators Rising, about his advocacy for having access to Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSO) in high school, and how his Educators Rising teacher leader has gone above and beyond to support him and other students at his school.

Owen plans to major in education post graduation and currently plans to pursue a career in teaching secondary English. And as we learn, he’s not opposed to becoming a future Educators Rising teacher leader himself.

An addition to serving as a leader in his high school Educators Rising chapter and as a state officer, Owen is actively involved in the National Honor Society and is a three-sport athlete. Owen also serves as a 2024-2025 Educators Rising National Ambassador.
