NORTH HAMPTON, NH - Marsha Zavez, a visual arts teacher at the North Hampton School, was nominated for New Hampshire Teacher of the Year for 2020 in a ceremony on April 1, 2019. She was among 39 candidates nominated for next year – the most ever during the history of the program here in the Granite State.

At the luncheon Monday, the teachers displayed their work with students and also received a citation from Gov. Chris Sununu. The nomination process includes applications and essays, recommendations, and resumes.

“As commissioner of the New Hampshire Department of Education, meeting teachers and learning what they are doing for our children is always exciting for me,” noted Frank Edelblut. “But seeing so many New Hampshire educators being nominated this year and reading the acknowledgments of their colleagues and community is inspiring.”
