Cooper High School Math Instructor Named Semifinalist for Teacher of the Year

One of those semifinalists hails from Cooper High School in New Hope.

Garrett Bruce, a math teacher at Cooper, was named a semifinalist by an independent selection panel.

Bruce was selected from an initial field of 142 candidates from across the state.

In a social media post, Bruce said being selected a semifinalist “was certainly a surprise and to be honest, doesn’t quite feel real.”

“There was a lot involved in the process and certainly thankful for the individuals who helped and supported me along the way,” added Bruce.

Ten finalists will be selected in mid-March. The 2025 winner will be announced in May.
