2025-2026 Teacher of the Year

Each year, teachers from our seven school sites choose one representative from their school as the Site Teacher of the Year. These innovative educators are selected as a leader at their school site by their colleagues. The site honorees move on to be considered for the District Teacher of the Year. Once they reach this level, they move forward to the State Teacher of the Year competition.
