ESP of the Year Joan Hall’s Love for Kids is Real and Rewarding
For Joan Hall, a special education aide at Myhre Elementary in Bismarck, the greatest rewards come in small but powerful moments—like watching a student master a skill they’ve worked on for weeks. Her deep love for the kids she works with and her unwavering commitment to their success earned her the 2025–26 North Dakota United Education Support Professional of the Year award, a recognition Hall never expected but humbly embraced.
