Joplin Schools is excited to join districts all across the region and the Greater Ozarks Cooperating School Districts in celebrating Teacher Proud Tuesday on the second Tuesday of every month. The purpose of the Teacher Proud Tuesday campaign is to lift up and celebrate the profession and those currently serving, to recruit and inspire candidates to consider teaching, and to inform communities, business leaders and policymakers the importance of public education.

We need your help in selecting teachers to spotlight each month. To nominate an outstanding teacher please submit the form below. Nominate as many teachers as you'd like and keep in mind that the nominations will roll from one month to the next, so there is no need to repeat your nominations.

Join the celebration! On the second Tuesday of each month, watch for the #TeacherProud hashtag on your favorite social media channels to like and share the celebrations.
