Round one of the inaugural NCHS’ Favorite Teacher competition closed Monday at 5 p.m. When the digital-dust settled, half of the pool was eliminated, narrowing the field to 32 teachers.

Five matchups were decided by a single vote, propelling Ms. Kaitlyn Baez, Ms. Christine Konopasek, Ms. Heather Gotschall, Ms. Christy Perez, and Mr. John Bergmann into round two.

The Math department’s Mr. Lance Bergmann was the only first-year teacher to survive the tournament’s opening round.
