Teacher & Staff Member of the Year Awards

Each year teachers and staff members at the Newport and West Bonner County School District's peer-nominate a Teacher and Staff Member to receive this award that is then presented to the recipient during an awards ceremony.

In addition to receiving a customized plaque, each recipient also receives $100 from the Rotary Club. We are honored to spotlight these stand-out teachers and staff members in our schools.

Congratulations and thank you to these incredible awardees for their dedication, hard work, and exceptional contributions to our schools, students, and community.
