Top Teachers & Employees

Top Teacher & Employee Awards 2023 — Winners Announced

Published March 6, 2023 Admin Only:



We celebrate our 10th Annual School Heroes — Top Teachers, Top Employees and Top Leaders — of Orange County Awards and Issue. With more than 200 nominations, we were impressed as we are year after year with the caliber of teachers, employees and administrators that are clearly making the lives of our students and families so much better. This year we expanded our criteria to include all kinds of education — from private and public to alternative and online schools — and the response was truly overwhelming.

    Would we be able to nominate for more than one teacher?

    If so, would it be okay if they were from the same school?
