North Kitsap
Teacher of the Year

The North Kitsap Teacher of the Year Award was established as a permanent program to annually honor an outstanding school teacher in both primary and secondary schools in our community. The award was originally named for Rangvald Kvelstad, a pioneer, local resident and teacher who was loved for his selfless dedication to our children and the community. In 2020, the award was renamed for beloved educator Glen Robbins. The award recognizes those public and private school teachers who, through personal initiative and sacrifice, inspire our children to be the best they can be, thereby benefiting our entire community. The geographic area of eligibility stretches from Keyport to Hansville and from Bangor to Kingston—the entire area of North Kitsap. The award includes both public recognition and a monetary grant to each year’s honorees. The intent is to reward and encourage creative, quality teaching and also to serve notice that our community cherishes its fine teachers.

Please join us! Through the ages, many have observed that a truly gifted teacher uplifts not only the children served but also the very community itself. Help us recognize those who do so much for us.
