North Pole Teacher Named Music Educator Of The Year

FAIRBANKS — Barbara Nore, a choir teacher at North Pole Middle School, has been named Alaska Music Educator of the Year.

Nore has taught orchestra, band, French, technology and math at the school since 1992. She was chosen by the Alaska Music Educators Association, which is a state affiliate of the National Association of Music Education.

Nore was credited for taking teaching to the next level by leading students to Juneau and Washington, D.C. through the Close Up program. She does so to help students “learn what it means to become effective citizens,” she said in a school district news release.

Nore has been with the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District since 1984. She also has an after school hand-bell choir.

Outside the classroom, Nore has been a Girl Scout leader, Alaska Orff-Schulwerk Chapter president, school district music coordinator and AMEA state president, and she performs weekly in the Northern Lights Opera.
