District announces 21-22 Teacher, Rookie Teacher and Support Staff Member of the Year

The Lake Havasu Unified School District Governing Board took some time at the start of the meeting Tuesday night to recognize the district teachers who were nominated by the community and their peers as Teachers/Staff of the Year.

While each of the eight schools named their own teacher of the year, it was Thunderbolt Middle School computer teacher Nissa Harris who was named the District’s Teacher of the Year.

Harris has been with the school district for 27 years and started her teaching career at the kindergarten level. In her time with LHUSD, Harris has had the roles of student council advisor, mentor teacher and vice president of the Lake Havasu City Education Association.

In her speech announcing Harris as the district teacher of the year, Superintendent Rebeca Stone talked about Harris’s dedication to her students.

“(Harris) has been known to challenge students to strive to be better than they thought they could be,” Stone said. “The interpersonal skills her students learn in the midst of all the other skills she is teaching is remarkable.”

Congratulations to all of our staff!
