A Celebration of Teachers and the Teaching Profession in Washtenaw County


Featured Speaker: Dr. Rose Bellanca, President, Washtenaw Community College

The Teacher of the Year Program recognizes the great contributions teachers make in Washtenaw County and to the learning community. This award recognizes and honors teacher excellence. It does not attempt to select the "best" teacher; rather, to identify, from among many outstanding teachers, one teacher to serve as a visible and vocal representative of what is best in the profession.
The LaFontaine Family wishes to honor the amazing teachers within Washtenaw County and recognize them for the hard work and efforts they put in every single school year.
