Aakre named Teacher of the Year
Alum Carl Aakre (M.Ed. '04), an agri-science teacher at Perham High School in Perham, has been named Teacher of the Year in Minnesota in the 12th annual Wal-Mart State Teacher of the Year program. Aakre was honored at a special surprise ceremony at the school, and in his honor the school received a $10,000 grant from the Wal-Mart Foundation.
This is not the first such honor for Carl. In 2005 he was named Agri-science Teacher of the Year by the National Future Farmers of America Association. Congratulations on all your accomplishments, Carl!
