Three local teachers have been nominated for New Hampshire's Teacher of the Year award.

They include Jay Keough, a criminal justice teacher at Spaulding High School; Michael Romps, a second-grade teacher at Garrison Elementary School in Dover; and Kim Royer, who teacher special education at Barrington Elementary School.

"Being nominated as a teacher of the year candidate is one of the most incredible gifts a colleague, parent or administrator can do to show appreciation for being such a rock star in the classroom for students," said Keith Noyes, 2019's New Hampshire Teacher of the Year and math teacher at Belmont Middle School.

In all, 31 teachers were nominated across the Granite State.

Semifinalists will be announced during the summer and the winner will be named this fall.
