Congratulations to Monte Vista Elementary fourth-grade teacher Dionne Tarpenning, who has achieved National Board Certification. Becoming a National Board Certified Teacher (NBCT) is a rigorous process that reinforces high standards, a commitment to excellence in teaching, and elevates the teaching profession. This is the most respected professional certification in K-12 education and represents a dedication to her craft.
Ms. Tarpenning, along with her 2026 cohort educators from across Utah who earned certification, were honored at the Utah State Capitol by the House and Senate for their amazing accomplishment.
Great work Dionne! Thank you for your commitment to our students and the teaching profession.
