Nominate winners for Teacher Proud Tuesday and our NEW Support Staff Star awards!

Posted Date: 9/02/25 (9:00 AM)

It's time again to kick off recognition of our fantastic educators every second Tuesday of the month, through Teacher Proud Tuesday! Please use this link to nominate a teacher you know who deserves a special shout-out for their dedication and skill. We are thankful to have so many phenomenal teachers in Joplin Schools, and they deserve all the recognition we can offer. 

This school year, we are excited to introduce the monthly Support Staff Star award! This recognition will be celebrated on the Third Saturday monthly. These are the building engineers, paraprofessionals, bus drivers, library aides, secretaries, cafeteria staff, behavior interventionists, kitchen managers, and staff in additional support roles, without whom school would just not be possible.  Please use this link to nominate a Support Staff Star.

We know nominees for both awards will embody our district's commitment to being One Team with One Vision, who go All-In Every Day. Nominations will roll over from month to month, and winners will be chosen randomly from the list of nominations. Both Teacher Proud Tuesday and Support Staff Star awards are sponsored by our friends at Mid-Missouri Bank. 

We can't wait to share these celebrations and shine an extra light on the amazing teachers and support staff members in Joplin Schools!
