Schools Name Their 2024-25 Campus Teachers of the Year

The district Elementary Teacher of the Year and Secondary Teacher of the Year will be named in spring 2025.


Each Aldine ISD school chooses a Campus Teacher of the Year before the end of the first semester. A committee will name six District Finalists in February based on their written applications. The six finalists are invited to interview with the district coordinating committee.

Every Campus Teacher will be honored at the Educators of the Year Breakfast in March. The district Elementary Teacher of the Year and Secondary Teacher of the Year will be named during the event.

The Elementary and Secondary Teacher of the Year will represent Aldine ISD in the Region 4 Teacher of the Year contest during the summer.

Congratulations to the 2024-25 Campus Teachers of the Year!
