H-E-B to honor educators once again

Disponible en:

As the 2014-15 school year begins, H-E-B will once again honor the accomplishments of outstanding public schools, teacher, principals, districts, early childhood facilities and school boards across the state through the 14th annual H-E-B Excellence in Education Awards, presented in cooperation with the Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA). This year, H-E-B will be awarding more than $80,000 throughout its service area.

There will be a total of 30 teacher finalists, 10 principal finalists, eight district finalists, five early childhood finalists and up to five school boards that will be chosen and honored at a special recognition dinner in May. At that time, 11 overall winners will be announced. Based on their years of experience in the classroom, teachers will receive awards ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 plus a matching award of the same amount for their school.

Principals will receive $10,000 and a $25,000 grant to their school, an early childhood facility will receive a $25,000 grant, a small school district will receive $50,000, a large district $100,000 and if selected for a special judge’s prize, a school board will receive $25,000 in the form of a grant to the school district they serve.

H-E-B believes that Texas schools are filled with talented and dedicated professionals who deserve to be recognized and rewarded for the contributions they make each day.

Anyone can nominate a teacher, principal, school district, early childhood facility or school board by going online at www.heb.com/education. Educators, school districts, and school boards can bypass the nomination process and simply go online to start the application process.
