National Teachers Hall of Fame

The National Teachers Hall of Fame is an American non-profit organization honoring exceptional school teachers. It was founded in 1989 by Emporia State University, the ESU Alumni Association, the City of Emporia, USD 253, and the Emporia Area Chamber of Commerce. The Hall of Fame is committed to drawing the public's attention to exceptional PreK-12 teachers through a museum, teacher resource center, and a recognition program, which recognizes five of the nation's most outstanding educators each June.

The NTHF is the only facility of its kind dedicated to recognizing outstanding career teachers, to preserving and promoting education, and to inspiring others to enter the teaching profession.

The Hall of Fame annually honors five teachers who have demonstrated commitment and dedication to teaching children. The first induction of five teachers was held in June 1992. To date, 100 teachers have been inducted into The National Teachers Hall of Fame representing 32 states and the District of Columbia.

"One in a Million- Teachers Who Make a Difference" initiative

This is a nation-wide campaign sponsored by the NTHF which encourages citizens of The United States to honor a favorite teacher or one who has made a different in their life. For a minimum donation of one dollar, one can fill out the downloadable form from the NTHF website [1] and submit their donation and nomination. In turn, the Hall of Fame will permanently preserve the teacher's name and information on a special webpage as well as in the National Teachers Hall of Fame Museum in Emporia, Kansas. This is a way to say "thank you" to those who have influenced lives from across the nation and to preserve the teaching legacies of those classroom heroes. The goal of this campaign is to raise awareness of the Hall of Fame and of the importance of the teaching profession.
