Two Ways to Nominate a teacher who shines!
A drop box is available in the library. Students can create and submit their entries during their library block
Our Student‑Nominated Teacher Awards give students the opportunity to recognize the teachers who have made a meaningful impact on their lives. Through heartfelt nominations, students highlight educators who inspire them, support their growth, and make learning engaging and meaningful. This program amplifies student voices while celebrating the teachers who go above and beyond each day.
