🍎 Congratulations to Laura Dominy, the Lewiston School District’s 2026–2027 Elementary Teacher of the Year!

Mrs. Dominy has dedicated more than 30 years to educating and supporting students and families in our community. As a teacher at Centennial Elementary, she is known for seeing the whole child, advocating for her students, and helping them discover what they are capable of achieving.

Parents describe her as a “true anchor” for their families and “the educator every parent hopes for and the advocate every child deserves.”

Thank you, Mrs. Dominy, for more than three decades of dedication, compassion, and advocacy. We are proud to celebrate this well-deserved honor!

Congratulations, Laura! 🎉
