Excellence in Education Awards
Watch for your chance to nominate an outstanding educator this spring.
It is important to recognize the major impact strong educators have on students. The annual MTEF Excellence in Education awards are given to educators who demonstrate exemplary leadership in the preparation of students for continued academic advancement at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, as well as in specialty areas. All recipients must demonstrate good communication and leadership skills, exhibit a willingness to become involved, share their teaching expertise with students and peers, incorporate innovative teaching methods, and have a positive impact on students.
MTSD staff members, students, parents, and guardians are encouraged to submit nominations. Additionally, MTSD staff members may nominate themselves.
Excellence in Education Awards ARE EXPANDING FOR 2023-24!
The MTEF Excellence in Education Committee is excited to announce the expansion of this program for the 2023-24 school year. From nominations submitted by students, families, and colleagues, the committee will be recognizing and rewarding seven outstanding educators with our Excellence in Education awards, one from each of our six MTSD schools, as well as a district specialist.
Please continue to participate in our monthly MTEF Giveback events that fund this program.
