Hillsborough Education Foundation The Teacher of the Year Award recognizes outstanding teachers who have been nominated as the Teacher of the Year for their school site. Attended by more than 1,500 individuals annually, this event recognizes over 224 nominees. Honorees are treated to an exciting night of dining, entertainment, recognition and special gifts.

All schools in the district are invited to nominate one teacher at their site whom they feel is the most well-rounded and professional. Eight finalists are selected by a district committee and individually interviewed. One winner is then selected for the prestigious honor of being named Hillsborough County's Teacher of the Year. The winner of this award goes on to compete for Florida State Teacher of the Year honors.
