North Dakota's 2027 Teacher of the Year has been named! 🏆

State Superintendent Levi Bachmeier and Gov. Kelly Armstrong announced today that Brian Schneider, an agricultural education teacher at Napoleon Public School, has earned the state's highest honor for educators.

Schneider has taught agricultural education for 40 years, including the last 35 at Napoleon Public School, where he instructs students in grades 7-12 in subjects ranging from Exploring Agriculture to Community Development. Under his leadership, Napoleon's FFA chapter has earned more than 150 state championships and three national titles.

"Brian Schneider's work reflects the commitment and student-focused mindset that define North Dakota's best educators," said Superintendent Bachmeier. "His dedication to building confidence and creating opportunities for students exemplifies the leadership that helps our schools thrive."

Schneider was selected from among four finalists: Teresa Olson of James Valley CTC in Jamestown, Jennifer Nokes of Roosevelt Elementary School in Dickinson, and Dustin Moe of Washburn Public School. He will begin his term as North Dakota's Teacher of the Year on January 1, succeeding Frannie Tunseth of May-Port CG School District.
