USD 480 is pleased to announce the 2018 Teachers of the Year. A total of over 200 nominations were received for 80 different teachers this spring!

From the 80 teachers nominated, a distinguished panel of fellow teachers, community members, parents, and administrators selected individual building winners. From there, the elementary and secondary district nominees were chosen. The district winners will be eligible to compete in the 2019 Kansas Teacher of the Year contest.
