Description
The National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS) offers the Educator of the Year Awards to recognize educators who inspire and guide high school students toward academic success. Part of the society’s educator grant offerings, the program emphasizes the contributions educators make to students’ academic lives rather than funding a specified research topic or project.
Through one top award and nine finalist awards, NSHSS recognizes educators whose work reflects its commitment to supporting high school students. The program is open to registered NSHSS Educators working with high school students in an academic capacity, both in the United States and internationally.
