Congrats to the 2024 County Teachers of the Year

In early May, the Department of Public Instruction announced this year’s list of County Teacher of the Year. Of the full field, 22 are members of North Dakota United. We would like to extend our congratulations to all of these tremendous educators on achieving this proud recognition. 

“Across our state, in rural areas and larger communities alike, our teachers bring their skills, compassion and dedication to their North Dakota classrooms,” Baesler said. “These County Teachers of the Year are examples of educational excellence, who have been recognized as such by their colleagues, their students and their families.”
