honoring the teachers who make a lasting difference in our communities with
the launch of the sixth-annual McDonald’s Outstanding Educator Awards.
Nominations are now open and will be accepted online through September 28 at
Outstanding Educator
Since its launch in 2020, the program has awarded more than $48,200 in cash
and prizes to 292 educators across local schools. Each year, the recognition
highlights K-12 teachers who go above and beyond, demonstrating extraordinary
commitment to their students and contributing to the advancement of
education.
“We look forward to this program every year because it gives us the
opportunity to celebrate the incredible educators shaping the future of our
communities,” said Andi Hilburn-Vaini McDonald’s Owner/Operator. “Teachers
consistently go the extra mile for their students, and we’re honored to
recognize their dedication and hard work.”
Now in its sixth year, the McDonald’s Outstanding Educator Awards shine a
spotlight on the educators who are adapting, innovating, and inspiring, ensuring
students have every opportunity to succeed.
