It was a clean sweep for the School District of Washington.

Clearview Elementary kindergarten teacher Becky Zanin was named the Educator of the Year on the elementary level.
Washington Middle School Special Education teacher Sharen Jones was named the Educator of the Year on the middle school level.

School districts and individuals had the opportunity to nominate top educators for the award. They must submit the application with letters of recommendation from a fellow educator and an administrator.
The South Central Region executive board reviewed the applications and voted.
