The Top Teacher Awards are a way for the community to come together to recognize and thank the teachers in Jackson County for their hard work and dedication to our area’s youth. 

Do you know an extraordinary teacher who is making a positive difference in the lives of their students? Do you work with a teacher who has a special knack for encouraging and inspiring students?

Show your appreciation, by nominating them for the Top Teacher Awards!

Each year, five teachers are selected as the year’s Top Teachers, and one of those is chosen as the Teacher of the Year. Winners are selected from nominations submitted by friends, family, co-workers and students.  

To be considered for a Top Teacher Award, nominees must meet the following criteria:

Be currently employed as a teacher in a K-12 classroom in a school in Jackson County

Have completed a minimum of five years of classroom teaching prior to the school year in which the award will be given. Student teaching does not count toward the five years.

Be employed in a full-time position
