The Los Angeles County Office of Education named the 16 "best of the best" -- the county's Teachers of the Year.
Two of them are Los Angeles Unified teachers from the other side of the district in the San Fernando Valley: Kathie Yonemura, a fourth grade teacher at Hesby Oaks School in Encino and Jose L. Navarro, a social studies teacher at Sylmar High School.
Five local LAUSD teachers had been eligible for the County Teacher of the Year honor.
The "Sweet 16" go on to compete for California Teacher of the Year.
