Marianne Love Honored For Distinguished Teaching
Sandpoint High School teacher Marianne Love received the Whitman College Award for Distinguished Secondary School Teaching and received a certificate at the college’s commencement ceremonies last month.
Love, who has taught English and journalism at Sandpoint High School since 1969, received the award based on her ability to inspire student interest in a particular subject, the ability to combine strict discipline with fun learning, contribute to students’ college preparation and challenge them to higher levels of criticism and analysis.

In addition, she advised the high school drill team for nine years, the school’s annual for 14 years, the senior class for three years and the student council for four years.
She has also published a book and writes as a monthly columnist for The Spokesman-Review.
Love was nominated by former student and recent Whitman graduate Angela Warren of Cocolalla.
