AUSTIN, Texas — H-E-B is again celebrating Texas educators with its annual Excellence in Education Awards, and nominations are now open. This prestigious program, designed to honor outstanding educational contributions, accepts entries through October 7. All state-certified public school educators currently teaching in Texas are eligible, along with early childhood education centers and schools across the state.

All finalists were presented with a $1,000 check for themselves, while teachers who placed received $1,000 toward their schools, counselors received $1,500 for their schools, and principals received $2,500 for their schools.

The H-E-B Excellence in Education Awards highlight educators who go above and beyond throughout the Lone Star state.

H-E-B’s Excellence in Education is the largest monetary awards program for educators in Texas and is among the largest in the nation. The honor was kept a surprise from the educators, who this week learned they were finalists when H-E-B representatives visited their classrooms and schools.
