A host of North Coast educators were honored last week as the California League Middle School handed out its annual teacher and administrator of the year awards.

Slater Middle School’s Wendy Anderson was named Teacher of the Year for Region 1 that covers Sonoma, Lake, Mendocino, Humboldt and Del Norte counties, according to Judy Mahoney who is a former trustee for the CLMS. Anderson now moves on to compete against 10 other regional educators of the year for state honors.

The state conference is scheduled for Feb. 25-27 in Sacramento.
