Educators of Excellence Award: Celebrating transformational leaders in our schools
New Memphis knows that great leadership is needed in every corner of our community — from the boardroom to the classroom. Educators are essential leaders in our community as their impact and investment is critical to our city’s future success. At New Memphis, we believe it’s paramount to recognize the contribution of our best educators, to learn from their experiences, and to support them in their growth. Their work is transformational to students, fellow educators and Memphis as a whole.
To acknowledge and celebrate the outstanding work of exceptional educators for the fifth year in a row, we're thrilled to announce the recipients of the 2022 Educators of Excellence Award; special thanks to The Crews Family Foundation for their support of our honorees.
