January is School Board Appreciation Month! We are grateful to our TCPS Board of Education for their leadership, their support of our staff, and their commitment to ensuring that every student is prepared to succeed in college, career and life!
Dear TCPS families -
Is there a teacher or member of the TCPS support staff who is truly outstanding, has made a significant impact on your family or your school, and/or goes above and beyond in their commitment as a professional? The Teacher of the Year and Support Staff of the Year programs are a fantastic way to recognize educators who exemplify excellence. Any individual within the school system or any member of the community may nominate a candidate. Nominations for both Teacher of the Year and Support Staff of the Year are due by January 16, 2026.
Fill out the forms below, or click the link for details and eligibility information. Thanks, and have a fantastic 2026!
