Teacher of the Year

Each year, the Santa Monica Elks Lodge proudly recognizes outstanding local educators through our Teacher of the Year program. This award honors teachers who demonstrate exceptional dedication, inspire their students to achieve their best, and make a lasting impact both inside and outside the classroom.

By recognizing these remarkable educators, we celebrate the vital role teachers play in shaping the future of our community. The Santa Monica Elks are proud to support and thank those who go above and beyond to educate, encourage, and inspire the next generation.

We invite students, parents, colleagues, school administrators, and community members to nominate deserving educators for our committee to consider. If you know a teacher who goes above and beyond to make a difference, we encourage you to submit a nomination and help us recognize their outstanding service to our community.
