The James A. and Juliet L. Davis Foundation has opened its Teacher of the Year 2021 nominations for educators in USD 308.

The foundation will grant five awards this year for outstanding classroom teachers. Two will be selected from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade, one from grades 7 and 8, and two from Hutchinson High School. Teachers must be currently serving in the Hutchinson Public Schools to receive consideration. Administrators and other non-classroom and non-teaching personnel are not eligible to receive these awards.

Staff who receive the award will be honored at the district’s opening convocation in August and at a Salthawk football game in the fall.

Nominations will be taken through March 5.

The public can make nominations as well. The nomination form is available at https://5il.co/p8kd.
