Local #710 Teacher of the Year | Anne Knutson
2022 Local #710 Teacher of the Year, Anne Knutson teaches Physical Education and Health at CHHS and has been teaching for 14 years.
“Teaching health and physical education is a huge privilege and responsibility. I teach with the long game in mind, a legacy philosophy. I teach directly to those within the four walls of my classroom and if done right they will not only carry it with them for a lifetime but will also pass it on to others. My classroom holds the future and together we learn we can change the world.” - Anne Knutson
