Golden Apple Awards

2021 GOLDEN APPLE AWARDS

Each year, the Greater Green Bay Chamber’s Golden Apple Awards program strives to improve the awareness of the quality of education in the Greater Green Bay area. We do so by recognizing high standards of professionalism, leadership and innovation in teaching. (And if 2020 hasn't inspired new levels of inspiration, we don't know what would.)

We received 1,180 Golden Apple Award nominations. Thank you!

Nominees will be announced in early January in the Green Bay Press-Gazette, on FOX 11 and Fox11online.com and on the this page. Stay tuned!

Why the Golden Apple Awards exist
Each year, the Golden Apple Awards program improves community awareness of the quality of education in the Greater Green Bay area by recognizing high standards of professionalism, leadership and innovation in teaching with the Golden Apple Awards.

Who the Golden Apple Awards celebrate
Eight recipients (individuals and/or teams) are selected annually through a multi-level screening of anonymous applications and personal interviews from a pool of nominees and then teacher applicants. Selection criteria are based on the National Board for Professional Teaching standards, which identify the essential knowledge, skills and dispositions expected of experienced, quality teachers.

2021 - GOLDEN APPLE AWARDS VIRTUAL KICKOFF

In promoting safe practices in our schools, community and volunteers, this year’s Golden Apple Awards program kickoff was supported virtually. During the first week of October, communication and an extensive social media push shared a kickoff video, produced by WLUK FOX 11, to highlight the value of area educators, ask students to think about how their teachers inspire, encourage and help them grow and introduce the nomination process and due dates.
