Teacher / Staff Member of the Year

What We Do

Beginning in 2019 OPSF began recognizing two teachers of the year, one from the High school and one from Prairie View as well as a District staff member of the year. These individuals are nominated by their peers, patrons, parents or students for outstanding contributions and dedication to the teaching profession and education. A short narrative is submitted outlining the personal characteristics and accomplishments that warrant the nominee's selection for the award.

The recipients are recognized at the end of the year staff appreciation event.  Newest members are listed first in the photo gallery.
