DIXON – Today, State Representative Brad Fritts (R-Dixon) named Ben Snow as his 2023-2024 Educator of the Year. Ben Snow is a middle school social studies teacher at Challand Middle School in Sterling. The Educator of the Year is a new award hosted by Rep. Fritts that asks all local school districts to nominate exceptional teachers who go above and beyond for their students.
“After careful consideration of all nominees, Mr. Snow stood out for his remarkable dedication, innovation, and mentorship in his role as a middle school social studies teacher,” said Rep. Fritts. “I am grateful for Mr. Snow’s commitment to education and his positive influence on our students and community.”
Ben Snow was awarded an official certificate from the Illinois House of Representatives during one of his classes.
Rep. Fritts concluded, “In the wake of the negative climate surrounding public education, I am truly excited to recognize one of the best educators our district has to offer. There are so many excellent teachers within our communities who give their all to enriching the education of their students. This new annual award will shine some light on the educators who deserve to be recognized for all they do. I look forward to continuing this award and highlighting more amazing educators in the future.”
