The student-selected Teacher of the Year Award was presented to Jacksonville College science teacher Dr. Katherine Manning-Pinotti of Mt. Selman.

“It’s such an honor. It was a complete surprise,” she said.

Manning-Pinotti has been with JBC for three years, where she teaches sciencce, micro-anatomy, zoology and biology.
