All-Star Teacher
Mike Davey, a history teacher and basketball and softball coach at Saratoga High School, is one of five finalists for the 2024 All-Star Teacher award.
The award, organized by NBC Sports Bay Area and California All-Star Teacher Award provided by Provident Credit Union, recognizes K-12 teachers who have an “exceptional commitment” to their students. The winning teacher’s school will receive a $30,000 award, which will be announced later this summer.
Saratoga High principal Greg Louie nominated Davey for his hardworking nature, commitment to his students and excellence in teaching, according to a press release from the Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District.
Members of the public can now vote for their favorite teacher through May 31 on nbcsportsbayarea.com/ast.
