The teachers at each of the schools in the Bartlesville Public Schools district have selected their respective Teachers of the Year and Rising Star Teachers. Rising Star Teachers are those with less than five years of teaching experience.
Each school's honorees will be celebrated at a public program on Thursday, April 18 on Rigdon Field at Doenges Memorial Stadium in a fun baseball-themed Bruins of the Year event sponsored by the Bartlesville Public Schools Foundation starting at 5:30 p.m. The District Teacher of the Year and District Rising Star Teacher will be announced, as well as the Classified Persons of the Year, service awards, and more.
The program will also include the announcement of the Kurt Schmoldt Teacher Appreciation Award recipient for 2024; nominations for that award are open to the public and due February 29.
