The long-standing annual program celebrates instructors throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area who are selected by their school administration for an exceptional dedication to their students and school community.

"Educators have a unique opportunity to directly change the lives of their students," said Akberet Boykin Farr, vice president of human resources - corporate functions at Emerson. "When a teacher goes above and beyond in their role, their students not only learn, but also receive encouragement to explore their passions and become better versions of themselves. Congratulations to all honorees on this much-deserved recognition."
