Teacher Appreciation Week with CTCU

Best in Class


Best in Class

We are excited to bring back our annual BEST IN CLASS program for the third year! As a way of giving back to our local educators, we host this friendly competition where people can vote for their favorite teachers to give them a chance to win one of three prizes in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week.

The top three qualifying teachers with the most votes will win.

  • First Place: $500
  • Second Place: $250
  • Third Place: $100

Starting on 04/22, you can vote for your favorite teacher once per day by filling out the form below. The more you vote for your favorite teachers, the better their odds are of winning. You have until 11:59 PM on 4/27 to vote and the winners will be announced during Teacher Appreciation Week (05/06-05/10).

We're excited to once again showcase and reward the outstanding educators who serve our community!

Please Note: Teachers who are actively working as an educator for an accredited public or private school, college, or university in the following counties are eligible to win: Kaufman, Hopkins, Rains, Smith, Wood, and Van Zandt.
