This year’s Wake County Teacher of the Year originally didn’t have teaching in mind for his career. Ryan Berglund used to work as a welder. Berglund has been a Millbrook Sustainable Agriculture Academy teacher since July 2019. He started teaching Career and Technical Education after working as a welder and equipment fabricator. Under his mentorship, 64 students have become certified welders ready to enter the workforce upon graduation. Berglund joined Jeff Hamlin on the WPTF Afternoon News to discuss being named the Wake County Teacher of the Year.
