Top Teacher & Employee Awards 2023 —Nomination Criteria

Published January 5, 2023 Admin Only:

With over 200 nominations, we are gearing up for our 10th Annual School Heroes—Top Teacher, Top Employees, and Top Leaders—of 2023 awards and issue. We asked you our readers to submit nominations for those educators, employees, and administrators that consistently go above and beyond the call of duty. Those who innovate, dare to make a change at their schools. Those who inspire students and other staff members to reach their full potential. Those who meet education challenges head-on. Orange County is fortunate enough to have so many extraordinary schools. Below are the judging criteria used to pick the best of the best in education.
