The 2022 Minnesota Teacher of the Year will be chosen from a group of 11 teachers from across the state who have been named finalists in the program, including a teacher from Moose Lake.

Bradley Hubred teaches fifth and sixth grade science at Moose Lake Community Schools. Out of 77 total candidates this year, an independent selection panel of 22 leaders in the areas of education, business, government and nonprofits selected the finalists from a group of 25 semifinalists. The selection panel meets again April 30 to conduct individual interviews with each of the finalists.
