The Celebration of Excellence (formerly Tribute to Teachers) awards program is a cherished opportunity for the community to celebrate and honor exceptional educators from across St. Vrain Valley Schools. This event recognizes individuals who exemplify excellence in their roles and make an extraordinary impact on student success. By highlighting the achievements of these outstanding educators, the Education Foundation and the community aim to honor the dedication and contributions of all teachers who inspire, innovate, and shape the future.
Based on nominations from students, parents, volunteers, fellow educators, school staff, community members, and business partners, one educator from each St. Vrain Valley School will be honored as the Educator of the Year for their school during the Celebration of Excellence event on April 11, 2025. From the school Educator of the Year honorees, a district wide Educator of the Year will be selected and honored at the event. All St. Vrain Valley Schools are eligible for these awards!
