For the past two and a half weeks, state education officials have been making surprise visits to Colorado’s 2025 Teacher of the Year finalists.
The seven finalists include a Denver history teacher, a Boulder music teacher, a Highlands Ranch English teacher, an Aurora educator who helps students feel a sense of belonging, a Summit County middle school teacher, a fifth grade teacher in Colorado Springs, and second and third grade teacher in rural Norwood in southwest Colorado.
The winner will be chosen next month.
