Local teacher finalist for ‘America’s Favorite Teacher’

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) - It seems like a lot of people like Colorado Springs Charter Academy Athletic Director Isaiah Seaborn. He's just a few spots away from becoming America's Favorite Teacher.

"It's incredible because all of these kids are incredible, and that's what means the most to me, when I can go home at the end of the day, and say, 'Hey, I impacted a kid's life.' Man, that means the world to me," Seaborn said.

Seaborn is in sixth place in the competition. He needs to crack the top five by 8 p.m. tonight to move on to the next round. People can vote once a day for free. You can find his voting page here.

The competition, sponsored by Bill Nye, is operated by the same company that hosts America's Favorite Pet. If Seaborn wins, he'll get $25,000, a trip to Hawaii, an appearance in Reader's Digest, and a school assembly visit by Bill Nye.
