Congratulations to our 2023-2024 MBUSD Teacher of the Year, Michelle Mangan!

Michelle’s journey in education began with teaching teen mothers, and she was also a teacher to
abused and neglected preschoolers. The District Teacher of the Year Committee made the
selection after interviews and classroom observations. They shared that Michelle was selected because of her passion for establishing an early learning environment responsive to student needs. She designs learning experiences that promote creative thinking, problem-solving, and exploration. The Committee also shared that she is incredibly collaborative and supports her fellow TK colleagues across the District with lesson ideas and formative assessments.
