Laura Roberts
Laura Roberts, who served time in the military prior to teaching, took home the top educator award.
She grew up in Vacaville, graduating from Will C. Wood High School. Roberts referred to herself as one of the students who fell through the cracks.
After her military service, she discovered a passion for her history and decided her career should be teaching the topic.
Roberts, in the virtual presentation, said she thinks history is more than just memorizing dates.
Bringing in under-represented voices was key, she said.
Roberts fought for ethnic studies classes, saying they are the counter-narrative to traditional history.
