This program reinforces the value of teaching by spotlighting the hard work and passion educators bring into schools every day.

How to Nominate

Nominate an outstanding educator by sharing their story of impact! The Teacher Recognition Program invites nominations from anyone—students, parents, colleagues, and community members—who’ve experienced the heart and dedication of a remarkable teacher. Whether they’ve inspired a classroom, mentored a peer, or led with innovation, this is your chance to shine a light on their contribution.


Nominations are submitted through a simple online form that outlines each recognition category and includes clear criteria to help guide your submission. The more thoughtful and specific your nomination, the more it helps our selection committee understand the depth of their impact.


Once submitted, each nomination is carefully reviewed by a diverse committee of educators, administrators, and community leaders. Guided by fairness and integrity, the committee uses a transparent, criteria-based approach to select educators who truly go above and beyond.
