Councilmember OD Harris is inviting the Chandler community to help recognize outstanding teachers and administrators working within the City of Chandler's boundaries.
This initiative highlights educators and administrators who go above and beyond their job descriptions, lead with heart, inspire students, support families and help create a culture of excellence in Chandler schools. It’s an opportunity to recognize individuals whose work may not always receive public attention, but who consistently make a real difference every day.
Nominees should be in good standing with their school or district and demonstrate a clear commitment to student success, leadership, service and a positive impact on their school community.
Community members who live, work and play in Chandler are invited to submit recommendation letters for teachers whose dedication, leadership, and service deserve public recognition. Selections will be based on the strength of the recommendation submittal and the nominee’s demonstrated impact on students, families, school culture and the broader Chandler community with a genuine focus on service, leadership and excellence in education.
Selected nominees will be publicly recognized by Councilmember OD Harris as outstanding educators and administrators making a meaningful difference in our community. Recognition may include a certificate, public acknowledgment, a $200 QuickTrip gas card and more.
Nominations must be submitted by Monday, April 20, 2026, by 11:59 p.m. Arizona time.
