SALT LAKE CITY – On Sept. 9, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Sydnee Dickson named Chad Warnick, an agriculture, biology, leadership, and communications teacher at the Delta Technical Center in the Millard School District, as 2023 Utah Teacher of the Year. Warnick was presented with a check for $10,000 and will compete with his fellow state teachers of the year in a national competition. He will participate in a number of state and national leadership opportunities.

“Mr. Warnick not only directs students on a path to a successful career, but more importantly, he guides each student to have a belief in themselves that they can succeed in life,” wrote Delta Technical Center Principal Brett Callister. Warnick succeeds 2022 Utah Teacher of the Year Mark Berrett Daniels, a theatre teacher at Pleasant View’s Weber High School.
