… “Being honored on stage in front of 1,700 people is a career affirming event. I teach because I love it. I always thought I was pretty good at it and that is why I enjoy it so much. I don’t do it for the accolades…It is a privilege to be Teacher of the Year for my school, but being recognized in the top ten in the county this year is amazing! Thank you to the Foundation. I feel famous.”
Comments from a finalist for Teacher of the Year 2006
Recognition programs are an important part of any corporate culture, and Hillsborough County Public Schools are no different. The Hillsborough Education Foundation hosts a number of large recognition programs every year to honor individuals and groups who support and display excellence in education.
The Foundation seeks community and corporate support to sponsor these vital award programs. Sponsorships of these award programs include benefits that offer publicity among the school district and the community at large.
