WILMINGTON, Delaware (WPVI) -- A teacher in New Castle County, Delaware is now behind bars after he allegedly raped a 15-year-old student.
James Garfield was taken into custody on Friday. He is being charged with two counts of felony rape and other related offenses.
Authorities say Garfield works at High Road School in Wilmington.
A now-deleted page on the school's website listed Garfield as the 2021-2022 teacher of the year. A portion of his bio read: "Garfield loves building relationships with each student individually."
Garfield was also just recently named "campus teacher of the year."
