Is Pennsylvania’s top educator in northern Schuylkill? Nominate them!
HARRISBURG – Every year, the Pennsylvania Department of Education recognizes a Pennsylvania teacher as the state’s Teacher of the Year and, if you think one of ours is worthy of that recognition, the state is seeking nominations.
“Every day in classrooms across the Commonwealth, our outstanding educators are making a difference for millions of learners,” said Secretary of Education Dr. Khalid N. Mumin. “Being named Pennsylvania Teacher of the Year is a prestigious honor that opens doors and creates exciting opportunities for networking, professional development, and mentorship—and gives hard-working teachers the accolades they deserve.”
The Teacher of the Year program celebrates excellence in teaching and honors individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the young people of Pennsylvania. Nominations will be accepted until December 16, 2024.
The Teacher of the Year program is co-sponsored by PDE and the Pennsylvania chapter of the National State Teacher of the Year (NSTOY-PA), which was founded in 1995.
Nominations are currently being accepted for the 2026 Teacher of the Year, to be announced next December. The 2025 Teacher of the Year will be announced this December.
The 2024 Teacher of the Year was a teacher at the Mifflin County School District.
