The Education Celebration began in 2014 and honors outstanding teachers and support professionals across the district for their excellence. Each campus selects a finalist to compete for District Teacher of the Year, and the winner is accounced at this event. Support professional finalists are also selected in each of three categories with a winner announced at the event. 

Like all our projects, the Education Celebration is in partership with Enid Public Schools as we work together to honor our district’s highly qualified teachers and support professionals.
