Bryan Silver, a teacher at Kalani High School, was named the 2025 Hawaii State Teacher of the Year during a ceremony at Washington Place. This honor is awarded annually to a teacher selected from over 13,000 educators in Hawaii. Silver teaches science and career and technical education, created Kalani’s engineering CTE course, and leads four after-school robotics programs. He also established three student-run businesses to support these initiatives and initiated the Innovation Station, a mobile classroom with STEM resources. Silver emphasized the evolving role of educators in fostering curiosity and learning from students. He will represent Hawaii in the National Teacher of the Year program, with a national winner to be announced in the spring.
