Nominate now for an Excellence in Education Award
Know of an educator who deserves recognition for making a difference in the lives of their students and in their community? Submit the name of a teacher, principal, school district or early childhood facility today for a 2013 Excellence in Education Award sponsored by H-E-B. Nominations for the awards are being accepted online at www.heb.com/education through Dec. 7.
After nominations close, nominees will be sent an invitation to complete an online application to be used for judging purposes. Nominees are asked to provide written responses about teaching philosophy, learning experiences and insights on issues facing educators in Texas. The deadline for applications is Jan. 11, 2013.
A nomination can place a teacher, principal, school district or early childhood education facility on the path toward winning cash prizes ranging from $5,000 to $100,000. Last year, Excellence in Education gave out more than $800,000 in cash prizes, gift cards and grants. Since its inception in 2002, the H-E-B Excellence in Education Awards program has awarded more than $6 million to Texas educators, schools and districts.
