He will also receive an interactive white board and a wireless microphone system for his classroom in Moab, in addition to a new computer.

"I am so grateful to be a teacher," Adams declared to the crowd. "It is the most noble of all callings."

Adams will be going to Dallas for the National Teacher of the Year Conference and to Washington, D.C., to meet President Bush.

Rocky Maughan, a fifth-grade teacher in the Cache County School District, and Linda Walter, a chemistry and physics teacher in the Nebo County School District, were awarded first and second runner-up prizes, respectively, at the awards ceremony. They both received cash awards for their contributions to the field of teaching.
