Recognizing Worthy Educators & Students

About the Awards

Teacher, paraprofessional, and student nominations are accepted year-round. Local lodges present certificates at predetermined school events, recognizing the teachers, paraprofessionals, and students for their accomplishments.

Exemplary Teacher & Paraprofessional Awards

  • Criteria: Your local Masonic Lodge would like to honor local teachers and paraprofessionals for their contributions to our community and to the future of our children, whether the contribution is a specific act or a lifelong career.
  • Nominations: School districts may make nominations in different ways, such as one teacher and/or paraprofessional per building or grade. The method of selection is entirely up to you! When you complete a nomination form, the local lodge will be notified of the name(s) of exemplary local teachers and/or paraprofessionals.
  • Presentation: The lodge will coordinate presenting the certificate(s) at a predetermined school event.
  • The nomination(s) must be made at least 2 – 3 weeks before the presentation date, to get the paperwork mailed out.
