Minnesota teachers have done a three-peat for the National Rural Teacher of the Year.
The National Rural Education Association bestowed the honor last year to Melissa Oberg, who teaches special education in Grand Marais. In 2023, it went to Morris teacher Jenny Maras.
This year’s honoree is Jeff Granrud. He teaches math at Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted High School. That’s a district of about 1,300 students an hour west of the Twin Cities in Wright County. Granrud joined Minnesota Now host Nina Moini to talk about his nearly 30-year career in teaching.
