We encourage parents/guardians and others to nominate our educators for their school's 2023 Teacher of the Year Award! These extraordinary individuals exemplify the world class teaching and learning that happens every school day in our classrooms.
You can nominate a classroom teacher, special needs teacher, art teacher, music teacher, guidance counselor, librarian, instructional coach or physical education teacher. These educators should embody the values of Kearney School District:
- Integrity

Your submission will be forwarded to the nominee's school Principal. One certified classroom teaching staff member will be selected from each school. These honorees will be announced on Monday, Jan. 30. They will be recognized at the Northland Regional Chamber of Commerce's 2023 Excellence in Education Awards Banquet on April 25. They will also be nominated for our district Teacher of the Year Award, which will be announced on March 8.
