Tyler ISD is pleased to announce the 2023 Campus Teachers of the Year, recognizing 29 teachers for their extraordinary leadership and excellence in teaching. The honorees have been selected by their fellow teachers and staff at their respective campuses.
These teachers will now compete for District Elementary Teacher of the Year and District Secondary Teacher of the Year honors. Nominees must submit a written portfolio and participate in an interview with a selection committee. Scores from both the interview and portfolio determine the winners.
"We are excited to honor all of these outstanding educators," said Chief Communications Officer Jennifer Hines. "Their dedication and hard work have helped create successful student outcomes, and we proudly celebrate their achievements."
The Teacher of the Year banquet, hosted by Tyler ISD and the Cooperative Teachers Credit Union, will be held on Thursday, April 13, at 6:30 p.m. The event will also announce the 2023 Rookie of the Year and Principal of the Year.
The Cooperative Teachers Credit Union underwrites the Teacher of the Year program, and additional sponsors include Tab and Bonnie Beall and the Tyler ISD Foundation. The Rookie and the Principal of the Year awards are sponsored by The Mortgage House and Dwell Realty.
District winners will go on to compete at the regional level. Tyler ISD congratulates the honorees and wishes them the best of luck.
