The state’s former superintendent of public instruction claimed honors last week following her selection as the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ teacher of the year.
Sherri Ybarra, who now serves as a third-grade teacher at Stephensen Elementary School at Mountain Home Air Force Base, gained recognition after earning local honors before claiming this year’s district-level title.
