TCTA Awards Program

Our statewide awards honor those who have made outstanding contributions to public education, the teaching profession or TCTA during the past year.

Participation in the awards program is an opportunity for TCTA's local affiliates and members-at-large to publicly recognize members and others who impact their schools and profession. It's also a great way for CTAs to attract positive attention from the media, peers and administrators.

Nominate TCTA members for ...

• Leader of the Year
• Faculty Representative of the Year
• Paraprofessional of the Year
• Retiree of the Year

Nominate other public education supporters for ...

• Administrator of the Year
• Friend of Education (honors a private citizen in odd-numbered years or public official in even-numbered years; this year's award will recognize a public official)
• Silver Apple Media Award

Nominations for the 2021-22 school year must be received by May 1.

All winners receive an engraved award. Each TCTA member winner receives a free membership for the following school year. Award winners will be acknowledged in TCTA publications, and in local ceremonies.

Contact TCTA’s Communications Department at 888-879-8282 or communications@tcta.org if you have questions or need assistance.
