NOMINATE A HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER 

We are pleased to announce Northwestern University is accepting nominations for the 2024 Morton Schapiro Distinguished Secondary School Teacher Award (Northwestern Schapiro Award), a prestigious honorific given to several outstanding high school educators each year. 

The priority deadline for nominations for the Northwestern Schapiro Award will be announced in Fall 2023. Award recipients will be announced in April 2024.

Five teachers are selected based on a process in which graduating seniors nominate teachers who have had a transforming impact on students. Each teacher honored will receive an award of $5,000. Additionally, each winning teacher's high school will also receive an award of $5,000.
