Three Teachers Move on in Competition
Three teachers who were selected as Capistrano Unified School District’s 1998 Teachers of the Year will advance to countywide competition in October.
The teachers were chosen last week at a ceremony before about 450 family members, co-workers and friends at Marriott’s Laguna Cliffs Resort in Dana Point. They were selected from a list of 39 teachers of the year nominated at each of the district’s schools.
The three winners are: Rob Lipsett, a speech and language pathologist, nominated by Clarence Lobo Elementary School in San Clemente; David Chamberlain, a seventh-grade math teacher at Aliso Viejo Middle School; and Betsy Schmitz, a Spanish and French teacher at Capistrano Valley High School in Mission Viejo.
