North Branford High School(NBHS) teacher Lauren Danner has just been announced as the winner of $10,000 for her school.

The science teacher was nominated for a national Teen.com media blitz contest promoting a new movie, "Here Comes the Boom," about a high school teacher who goes above and beyond for his school. She was one of three inspirational teachers in the running to win, nominated by students.

Last week, The Sound published a story urging readers to join the community and school blitz to vote for Danner on-line. Danner was named the winner today.

Plans for the school's use of the prize money and other details of the win were not immediately available.
