Josh Udesen won Outstanding Educator of the Year in 2024 for grades 9-12 at Riverstone International School in Boise.
For over twenty years, Josh Udesen has found that his world religions course is an ideal platform for encouraging curiosity about the variety of expression of the human spirit and teaching students about the value of our differences. Udesen states, “From the devout believer to the skeptical humanist, we all have questions about the world beyond ourselves. Where we come from, what is the meaning of it all, what happens to us, what is right, what is wrong, why certain things happen and students suddenly realize there are no easy answers.”
