Our Mission
Honored is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring and elevating great teachers. Our teacher recognition program helps to engage, inspire, and retain educators across the country.
Honored’s innovative platform empowers students and families to share stories about the teachers who have changed their lives. These public tributes provide the individualized and specific recognition that research shows keeps teachers in the classroom.
Our Honorees
Our Honorees teach in public, public charter, and private schools across the country; they teach students from Pre-K to 12th grade; they teach subjects from math to music to PE. So what do they all have in common? They are changing the lives of their students.
