New Braunfels ISD proudly announces this year’s Campus Teachers of the Year recipients. These individuals will be honored at the April 24th NBISD Excellence Awards. They will be considered for NBISD Elementary or Secondary Teacher of the Year, which NBISD will also announce at the event.

"For several decades, we have sponsored this recognition program to highlight the amazing and talented teachers found throughout the district," said Rebecca Villarreal, the NBISD Teacher of the Year Coordinator. "They are each shining star, and we look forward to honoring each of them for their dedication to the youth of our community.”
The Teacher of the Year recognition program is intended to honor excellence in the classroom and provide a forum to showcase outstanding educators whose efforts and example have inspired their students, their colleagues, and the community they serve. All recipients must:
- demonstrate outstanding leadership and excellence in teaching
- take an active role in their communities as well as their schools
- be professional, poised, and articulate
- inspire a love of learning in students of all backgrounds and abilities
- be skillful, dedicated teachers who plan to actively continue classroom teaching
