The Isle Area Chamber Educator of the Year Award was awarded to Mariah Tronnes on June 4 at the Isle High School during their teacher in-service and breakfast.

Isle School Superintendent Dean Kapsner recognized Tronnes at the event saying that it was great to end the year on a positive note.

“In a sports banquet analogy, this is kind of like the MIP (Most Improved Player),” said Kapsner. “Since there is not a single MVP, this award most closely equates to MIP. Consistent with the best of any profession, this educator wants to always be better and is on a continual trajectory of improvement.”

Kapsner outlined what he considers improvements as being a lifelong learner and continuing education, being involved beyond the classroom, supporting colleagues, and connecting with students.

“All of these things to me demonstrate commitment to the profession and dedication to the school community,” he said. “As a master’s program student, ‘I Love to Read’ planner, PBIS leader, cheerleading advisor, HH5 emcee, and so much more in addition to being a great teacher, Mariah Tronnes is very deserving of this year’s Isle Chamber Educator of the year.”
