(KNZA)--Hiawatha High School biology teacher Chris Vitt has been selected as the Hiawatha USD 415 Teacher of the Year for 2015-16.

Vitt was recognized during Monday evening's Board of Education meeting, with Board President Pete Rosa presenting Vitt with a plaque.

Vitt has taught at Hiawatha High School since 1984, and has decided to retire at the conclusion of the current school year.

Also recognized during the meeting were the other two nominees for the honor--Hiawatha Elementary School teacher Sarah Ronnebaum and Hiawatha Middle School teacher Dixie Pethoud.

Each year, the teachers of USD 415 select one of their peers for the recognition. The teachers in each building select a candidate from among the teachers in their building. The entire teaching staff then votes on the three candidates, choosing one as the Hiawatha Teacher of the Year.
