2021 Loren Lutz Teacher of the Year Award
This award is given each year to a teacher who dedicates their teaching career to utilizing and working with the NHD program. We would like to recognize Andrew Stewart from Jones County School District as our 2021 Loren Lutz Teacher of the Year! Andrew’s nomination form says it best: "For Andrew, history education not just a job – it’s a passion. Andrew was a student who participated in the NHD program and has carried his pride and passion for NHD throughout his college career and into his professional career as well. He also utilizes NHD and project based learning in his classroom and not just with his NHD contest participants. This award is extra special for Andrew as he had the opportunity to work with Mr. Lutz and have him as a role model during his first few years of teaching." Congratulations, and thank you for what you do for NHD in SD!
