North Dakota Career and Technical Education is proud to celebrate Brian Schneider, Agricultural Education teacher and FFA advisor at Napoleon Public School, on being named the 2027 North Dakota Teacher of the Year!
With 40 years dedicated to Agricultural Education and a strong commitment to FFA, Brian has made a lasting impact on his students, school, and community, as well as Agricultural Education across North Dakota.
We also congratulate Teresa Olson, Family and Consumer Sciences/Childcare instructor at James Valley Career and Technology Center in Jamestown, on being named a finalist.
Having two CTE educators among the four Teacher of the Year finalists, with Brian earning the top honor, is a wonderful reflection of the impact CTE educators have on students and communities across North Dakota.
