YORK CO., Va. — Charles Cager is described as a "super senior" substitute teacher at Tabb High School.

Mr. Cager is the school's long-term substitute teacher, he began working during COVID-19 and just kept coming back.

He was nominated to be a News 3 Everyday Hero for being the "energizer bunny of the community."

Mr. Cager has been retired for many years, but retired is a loose word in this case. He told News 3 that the kids are what keep him coming back every day.
