The 11 finalists bring a wide range of experiences to a variety of subject areas and grade levels.

“These teachers do amazing work every day not only to share what they know with their students but also to know their students as individuals and to help them learn, grow and ultimately succeed,” Director of Schools Dr. Adrienne Battle said. “A teacher’s work is never done, but our MNPS teachers do it with joy – and they are extremely effective at it.”
