The mission of The National Teachers Hall of Fame is to recognize and honor exceptional career teachers, encourage excellence in teaching, and preserve the rich heritage of the teaching profession in the United States.
Our Vision to Unlock the Future
As we look to the future, it is the vision of the National Teachers Hall of Fame to realize the first part of our name more fully. The time is now for NTHF to be a more prominent and truly National organization that both lifts up the teaching profession and enhances awareness of the vital role that education plays in our society. By recognizing exceptional career teachers and celebrating their accomplishments as inspiration for others, we will harness the collective skills and experiences of our inductees to elevate both teaching and learning throughout the entire country.
During such a pivotal time for education, it is more important than ever that excellence in teaching is recognized, celebrated, and lifted up for all to see.
“Teachers affect eternity, no one can tell where their influence stops.”
Henry Adams
