Teacher of the Year

Each spring, the Parkway Alumni Association sponsors the Parkway Teacher of the Year recognition program. Staff members at each school select a teacher as their building teacher of the year. From this group, the district selects an elementary, middle-school and high-school teacher to represent their building levels. One of these three teachers is selected by the district to represent Parkway at the state-level competition for teacher of the year.

Teachers are selected for teacher-of-the-year honors based on a set of criteria determined by the district.

The PAA provides recognition and cash awards (total $2,000) for all of Parkway's teachers of the year and honors them at the district's annual Appreciation Evening event in the spring.
