A Lapeer County teacher is one of several teachers recently selected as 2025-26 Regional Teachers of the Year.
Each of these outstanding educators will be a finalist for the 2025-26 Michigan Teacher of the Year. The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) organizes the Teacher of the Year program to honor and elevate teacher voices. Honorees will have the opportunity to share their experiences and knowledge as they work with stakeholders to strengthen Michigan’s public schools for students and educators.
Representing Lapeer County’s community of North Branch, Corey Rosser is a social studies teacher at Quest High School in North Branch Area Schools. The Regional Teachers of the Year were selected following a competitive application process that began with being nominated for Michigan Teacher of the Year. Students, staff, and community members from across the state submitted nominations. The 2025-26 honorees were chosen for their dedication to the teaching profession, as evidenced by their commitment to their students and record of service in the teaching profession.
The next step in the process is for each Regional Teacher of the Year to interview with a panel of statewide education stakeholders, with one person selected as the 2025-26 Michigan Teacher of the Year.
