An American English teacher has set a world record after teaching for 67 years. He is now 90 years old.

Beverly Hannett Price, who teaches English at Detroit Country Day School in Beverly Hills, Michigan, was recognized on Monday (February 2).

Among the guest speakers at the event was her former student Courtney B. Vance, who later became a Tony and Emmy Award-winning actor. Vance said Price taught her how to organize her writing and express her thoughts—skills she still uses today. That's why they still keep in touch, she said.

Hannett Price, who began teaching in 1958, has students including Hollywood actor Robin Williams and former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.

Speaking at the event, Hannett said she has no plans to retire. Because he loves school and teaching is his greatest love.
