We are proud to lead the state with 119 National Board Certified Teachers, setting the standard for excellence in education. National Board Certification is a voluntary, rigorous, and performance-based process that requires educators to demonstrate advanced teaching knowledge, skills, and practices!
Research shows that students taught by NBCTs outperform their peers in the classroom and on achievement tests. Additionally, districts with a high concentration of NBCTs benefit from improved school culture, collaboration, and teacher retention. Thank you for your dedication to your craft and for making a lasting impact on our students and schools!
