UPDATE: Through Region 1 and beyond. Piner’s Simone Spearman was named Educator of the Year for all of California at the annual California League of High Schools Confererence in Sacramento last weekend.
“Way to go, Simone! You are amazing!” Piner Principal Sally Bimrose wrote in a message to the Prospectors staff. Bimrose called it an important win for both Spearman and the entire Piner community.

I got lots of emails about this one.
Piner High School English teacher has been named Educator of the Year for Region 1 which covers high school from Marin to Humboldt counties. Nominees may be teachers, administrators, counselors or other certificated personnel.
Spearman, who has taught English for 12 years, including eight at Piner, was chosen from among a group of 10 educators from area high schools. All 10 finalists will be honored at the Feb. 3 County Board of Education meeting.
The other honored teachers are:
Laurel Aiona, Rancho Cotate High School
John Cortopassi, Santa Rosa High
Ken Emery, Maria Carrillo High
Sharon Howell, Casa Grande High
John Linker, Healdsburg High
Kyle Thompson, Elsie Allen High
Catlin Tucker, Windsor High
Sarah Wadsworth, Petaluma High
Paige Warmerdam, Montgomery High
And Spearman from Piner
The 10 finalists were honored at the California League of High Schools Region 1 awards dinner earlier this month in Healdsburg. Spearman was honored for the exemplary contributions she has made to high school education in the region, according to the Sonoma County Office of Education.
One candidate is selected to represent 11 regions in the state and from that group the California High School Educator of the Year is selected. That California League of High Schools event is in Sacramento in February.
Piner principal Sally Bimrose was one of many who drew my attention to the award which she called “great news for Piner and a well deserved award for Ms. Spearman!”

Ms. Spearman is an amazing teacher and is truly passionate about her students as people and scholars. This award is very much deserved. She is a wonderful example of the excellent teachers at Piner, and as a former student of Spearman I couldn’t be more proud!

Congratulations Simone Spearman!!!! As a parent of a former student now in college I want to add that Ms. Spearman was not only an inspiration to my daughter as a teacher and mentor but a role model as a human being. She teaches with her heart and soul and has touched so many lives at Piner High School. Good things are happening at Piner in all areas and parents, you should take a look before sending your kids across town to other schools when Piner is right in your own back yard. Go Prospectors!!!
