Hunter Najera has been selected as the 2022-2023 Mayo Demonstration School Teacher of the Year!
One of his nominators said: "Hunter is a phenomenal teacher who puts so much creativity and fun into his lessons. He loves the kids and has a passion for what he does."
This is Hunter's 12th year at Mayo where he teaches 5th grade English language arts and science.
"As a product of Tulsa Schools, I've always wanted to work with people and help build a stronger Tulsa," said Hunter. "My favorite part of the job is when my students of yesteryear stop by to say hello. It's always nice to know that I left an impact on someone's life. I love feeling like what I do every day matters."
