All certified teachers who have completed the past three consecutive years in the Owasso Public School District may be considered for this honor. Each Teacher of the Year nominee is selected by their peers to represent their building at the district level. One of the 15 site winners will be selected as the OPS Teacher of the Year by a district peer committee based on a self-submitted portfolio, as well as a live presentation with each candidate.
The honor will be presented at the annual Owasso Public Schools Teacher of the Year reception, which will be held on March 29 at the Mary Glass Performing Arts Center.
