Herzog Foundation Announces 2026 Christian Teachers of the Year

The Herzog Foundation is proud to recognize the following educators as the 2026 Christian Teachers of the Year. This year’s awards, announced during Teacher Appreciation Week, feature special recognition for excellence in mathematics education alongside the Foundation’s Innovative Teacher of the Year honors: 

“Each year, the Foundation continues to refine its award categories based on the strengths and needs we see across the Christian education landscape,” said Herzog Foundation President Darrell Jones. “This year, we placed a special emphasis on mathematics education, recognizing three Math Teachers of the Year in addition to nine Innovative Teachers of the Year. At a time when technology is increasingly replacing foundational problem-solving skills, these educators are challenging trends and helping students pursue excellence.”

The 2026 Teachers of the Year will be invited to Kansas City this fall for a special weekend of professional development and public recognition celebrating their contributions to Christian education. The Herzog Foundation will share more details about the event and each teacher’s accomplishments in the months ahead.
