A former high school “teacher of the year” has been arrested in California for allegedly having sex with a 16-year-old boy, and authorities said they “believe there may be additional victims.”<\/p>\n

Tracy Vanderhulst, a 38-year-old math teacher at Yucaipa High School, was arrested late Thursday night for unlawful sexual intercourse involving a minor and held on $30,000 bail, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office said in a\u00a0news release. It was not immediately clear if the minor was a student at the high school.<\/p>\n

In a tweet that has since been deleted, the school said that Vanderhulst “offers up a rigorous mathematics curriculum and deep caring for her students,” CBS Los Angeles\u00a0reported<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Vanderhulst was honored as “teacher of the year” in 2017. According to a citation quoted by the\u00a0News Mirror, Vanderhulst\u00a0 “epitomizes the educator so many desire to be \u2014 she is the kind and innovative teacher from whom we hope our children will grow; the educator who strives to engage all of her students from her intervention classes to her honors classes.”<\/p>\n
