Established in 1998 with an anonymous gift to The Catholic Foundation, the Catholic Award for Teachers recognizes the accomplishments of outstanding teachers in our Catholic schools. Each year, three to five teachers are selected to receive awards of $1,000 each in appreciation for their teaching excellence. In addition, the schools they represent each receive $100 for their school endowment. The list below reflects the awardees for the past four years.
