TEACHER RECOGNITION

Every year, the Golden Schools Foundation awards two Golden-area teachers with a Teacher Recognition Award. They receive $1,000 to spend in their classrooms, and a beautiful crystal apple to recognize them for their amazing contributions to our schools. Nominations open in Spring 2024.
Congratulations to our 2023 Winners!
