Lisa Devoe, a U.S. history teacher at the Public Safety Academy in Fairfield and a product of the Fairfield-Suisun School District, was honored Thursday as teacher of the year for the district.

Devoe spoke at the school board meeting about how as a teacher “you throw that pebble in the pond” with results that may not be seen for 10 or 15 years.

“It’s immeasurable,” she said of how teachers affect students.
