Leelanau School teacher, Elizabeth Blondia, was one of 10 educators to receive the 2025 Outstanding Educator Award. The award is given in collaboration between the Northwest Education Services, Traverse Connect, and TBA Credit Union.
“I’m just really honored to be given this award! Teachers don’t get into this to be recognized, we’re usually very humble and it’s almost embarrassing to get this kind of attention. But, to be recognized feels really good. Teaching has been my life’s work so it’s nice to hear that I’ve impacted people in a positive way.”
Blondia serves as the current Humanities Department Head and teaches or has taught subjects such as American Government, Modern World Civilizations, Modern World Literature, American History, Senior Seminars and unique winter term classes.
