Nominations Accepted for Regional Education Partnership Teaching Award

Public school partners from Caldwell, Crittenden, Dawson Springs, Hopkins, Muhlenberg, and Webster County districts along with Madisonville Community College and Murray State University-Madisonville have announced the third year of the Regional Education Partnership Excellence in Teaching awards to recognize outstanding classroom educators.

"We are excited to host this event for the third year, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to excellence in teaching and the vital role educators play in shaping the future of our communities," said Dr. Jay Parrent of Madisonville Community College. "We hope this award inspires educators to continue their invaluable work and serves as a reminder of the profound impact they have on their students' lives."

The award was created to celebrate and highlight teaching excellence in elementary, middle, and high school education. Nominees who demonstrate exceptional skills and dedication to their profession and inspire and motivate students to achieve their full potential are sought. The colleges and school districts have been meeting regularly since 2017 to discuss issues of mutual importance, plan collaborative ventures, and refine and expand dual credit programming for students. Several key initiatives have been developed through this partnership since its inception.  

The window for nominations will remain open online until Friday, April 4. To be eligible, nominees must be full-time regular classroom teachers in an elementary, middle, or high school with at least three years of experience. A committee of educators and administrators from each district and representatives from the colleges will select one teacher from each grade level from each district.  

The award ceremony will take place on Thursday, April 17, on the Madisonville Community College campus. Follow this link to nominate a teacher for this recognition.
