The moment great teachers take center stage…
Great teachers spark inspiration for every student—and our community comes together each year to celebrate them.
In partnership with Sarasota County Schools, the Education Foundation honors outstanding educators each year with an awards celebration, recognizing Teachers of the Year at all Sarasota County Schools. The Education Foundation will honor one of these teachers with the Innovation Award, recognizing ingenuity, resourcefulness, and flexibility.
Three county finalists will be recognized… and one Sarasota County Teacher of the Year will be named.
This is a night of excitement, fun, and gratitude as we lift up the educators making a difference in the lives of students all over Sarasota County. Register below.
