My Journey as the 2004 NH Teacher of the Year, by Ida Dziura third grade teacher at Londonderry Elementary School

Each year since 1952, New Hampshire schools have taken part in the State and National Teacher of the Year Program. Educators are selected from any New Hampshire state-approved or accredited school, pre-kindergarten through grade 12, if they are planning to continue in an active teaching status. In New Hampshire, Hannaford Supermarkets is proud to partner with the Department of Education to sponsor the New Hampshire Teacher of the Year Program. With this program, we hope to:

  • create a positive, progressive image for the New Hampshire Department of Education's awards programs
  • recognize teacher quality
  • gain community recognition and support
  • increase networking and mentoring among educators
  • attract and retain quality educators, and
  • provide positive messages about the teaching profession.

Every day a New Hampshire teacher makes a difference in the life of a child.
Every year the NH Department of Education honors outstanding educators who make their communities, profession, and the world a better place.
