Teachers, staff, students, parents, community members, or anyone can nominate any teacher of their choice using the simple new nomination form. According to national guidelines, persons in administrative or supervisory positions, including counselors, are ineligible. Please describe why you believe the nominee deserves to be the School District of University City's Teacher of the Year.
After all the nominations are received, it is up to the nominee to complete the requirements outlined by the Teacher of the Year Selection Committee in order to be eligible as a potential candidate for Teacher of the Year. All nominees will receive every nomination submitted on their behalf.
