Herzog Foundation Launches Second Annual Christian Teacher of the Year Awards

The Herzog Foundation recently announced that it will begin accepting nominations for the 2023 Christian Teacher of the Year Awards. This annual opportunity to honor Christian educators is part of the Herzog Foundation’s Excellence in Christian Education award series.

“Last year, nominations poured in from parents, students, colleagues, and friends, all eager to garner recognition for the Christian teachers they respect and admire,” said Herzog Foundation Chairman Todd Graves. “The sheer volume of nominations not only spoke to the teachers themselves, but also to the satisfaction levels that are found in Christian education. As Christian education continues to grow nationwide, we look forward to honoring the best educators that the field has to offer.”

The 2023 nomination period will conclude on Friday, March 10. The Herzog Foundation will then select 12 Teachers of the Year to be honored at an awards gala on Saturday, September 30 at Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. In addition to the gala, each teacher and their school will receive a monetary gift.

“Christian teachers are a selfless group of individuals who put students and the Lord above all else,” said Herzog Foundation President Darrell Jones. “Our annual gala in Washington, D.C. gives these teachers the rare opportunity to be publicly recognized for their own accomplishments.”
