Application for 2025 Kansas Horizon Award available now

Do you want to recognize and reward first-year educators in your district? The Kansas Horizon Award program offers school districts the opportunity to honor outstanding teachers after their first year in the classroom. 

The program, sponsored by the Kansas State Department of Education, recognizes and rewards first-year teachers who have served as examples of excellent teaching in their elementary or secondary classroom.  

Horizon Award winners receive special recognition during the Kansas Exemplary Educators Network (KEEN) state education conference which takes place annually in February, in Topeka.  

Nominated teachers must have completed their first year of teaching and be starting their second year. It is easy to nominate a teacher from your district by clicking on this link: http://www.ksde.org/Agency/Fiscal-and-Administrative-Services/Communications-and-Recognition-Programs/Kansas-Horizon-Award-Program 

Completed applications must be postmarked no later than Oct. 10, 2024. 

For more information, contact Tamla Miller at (785) 296-4950 or tmiller@ksde.org
