More About This Program

Now in its twelfth year, the Teacher of PROMISE Awards recognize and honor four, first-year teachers with $1,000 awards.

The teachers are nominated by their school principal for demonstrating Potential, Responsibility, Optimism, Motivation, Integrity, Sensitivity, and Excellence in teaching.

The PROMISE Awards are announced at the annual CORE Academy Banquet, a WS/FCS mentoring program designed to help new teachers during their first year in the classroom. The awards promote excellence in teaching, commitment to the profession and assist in teacher retention.

  • Honors excellent first-year teachers
  • Each school nominates one teacher
  • At least one teacher from each level recognized

 

The Promise Awards allow us to publicly recognize and honor outstanding first year teachers at all levels. The collaboration between FEP and school system reinforces the need to ensure quality public education for every child starting with our classroom teachers.

Our community is fortunate to have this organization that believes and strives for educational excellence in our public schools.
