Apple Awards
The Apple Awards honor teachers who have demonstrated a superior ability to foster
excellence in education while contributing to the continuous
improvement of student learning and the school environment throughout
Douglas County.
Students, parents, teachers and community members nominate
qualified teachers for these prestigious awards. Following the
nomination process, staff at each school select one teacher to
represent their school at the Apple Awards. The teacher selected from each school is invited to submit an application for the next round of awards.
Once
submissions are received, two semi-finalists are selected to represent
each feeder area - one elementary and one secondary. The night of the Apple Awards, there two teachers are honored as Apple Award Recipients - one elementary and one secondary teacher.
