San Leandro Teacher Honored as 'Teacher of the Year'

A biology teacher from San Leandro High School was chosen as 'Teacher of the Year' throughout the whole San Leandro Unified School District.

Victor Doan, a biology teacher at San Leandro High School, and Regina Brinker, an engineering science teacher at Christensen Middle School in Livermore received the coveted honor of Alameda County Teachers of the Year. As representatives of San Leandro Unified School District and Livermore Unified School District respectively, they will move on to compete for the California Teacher of the Year title.

The announcement was made at the Alameda County Office of Education’s annual Teachers of the Year ceremony last night, where twenty teachers from school districts throughout Alameda County were honored for their excellence and commitment to educating our children. Over 300 people participated in the celebration at the Castro Valley Center for the Arts. 

“We are thrilled to see Victor Doan and Regina Brinker head on to the statewide competition,” said ACOE Superintendent Sheila Jordan. “Together with the other 18 teachers honored at the awards last night, they represent the very best education has to offer our children. Not only that, but they represent all excellent teachers in Alameda County and the very best in public education. They are role models for all of us.”
