School Teachers of the Year Announced

Spring is an exciting time of year at Indianapolis Public Schools; it’s when each school recognizes one of their most inspiring, innovative and all-around amazing teachers! All of our schools are invited to select a Teacher of the Year – this educator is not only honored for their hard work within the school, but they are now eligible for district, state and, perhaps, national recognition!
