Honored Schools enables teachers to receive consistent and personalized recognition from students and family members within their community.

The program is designed to help inspire and retain great teachers, while building a culture of appreciation for teachers at schools across the country. Through the HonoredSchools online platform, students and family members within each participating school submit Honor Stories about how teachers at their school make a difference. Every teacher who is recognized will receive their student’s story by email and will be publicly recognized by their school and on the Honored Schools website.
