Every year, NHA celebrates the finest educators in its system of schools by highlighting outstanding teachers in four categories: Grades K-1, Grades 2-5, Grades 6-8, and co-curricular. There are 15 finalists in each category out of nearly 3,000 teachers. The finalists are determined by a number of factors including student test scores, annual performance evaluations, and parent satisfaction data.
