Eight Teacher of the Year nominees named

From staff reports

AUGUSTA— Eight Teacher of the Year nominees will be honored today at the State House.

The nominees will be in the Hall of Flags, where they will display class projects and achievements.

This year's nominees are:

Matthew Amoroso, Thornton Academy, Saco

Katherine Bousquet, Central School, South Berwick

Richard Lent, Leavitt Area High School, Turner

Elizabeth Marass, Sanford High School

Tracy Scully, Acton Elementary School
