ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Feb. 26, 2025 -- As a science teacher at Stillwater Area High School, Stacy Bartlett has been named a semifinalist for the 2025 Minnesota Teacher of the Year award.

Prior to the semifinalist announcements, Bartlett was joined by Hannah Reyes (Lake Elmo Elementary) in the pool of 142 candidates of nominees from across the state. A teacher in Stillwater Schools since August 2012, Bartlett now looks to join the group of 10 finalists to be announced in March.

The 2025 honoree is set to become the 61st Minnesota Teacher of the Year in a program that celebrates the tradition of excellence in teaching in Minnesota. Eligible candidates include pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, Early Childhood Family Education, and Adult Basic Education teachers, from public or private schools.
