HONORED TEACHER AWARD
This award was created in 1991 to recognize teachers from around the state who “over the years” have contributed their
time and talents to their district and state organizations. These teachers have been dedicated to maintaining a high level of
professionalism in all that they do and have shown a willingness to help and encourage other teachers in their
organization. These “Honored Teachers” have had their students participate in the Arizona State Study Program, State
Auditions, Honors Recitals, as well as various District events.
