"A state cannot have high-achieving students without first
having excellent classroom teachers who make a difference in
children's lives every day," said John W.
Eaves, Arch's chief executive officer. "This year's 10 Arch
Coal Teacher Achievement Award recipients represent the many
outstanding Wyoming educators who
strive daily to mold our future leaders and to inspire them to live
up to their highest potential. We are pleased to recognize these 10
educators for their significant and valuable contributions, and we
congratulate them on their professionalism, commitment to high
standards and unflagging enthusiasm for educating Wyoming's students."
The public nominates teachers for the annual award, and a
blue-ribbon panel of past award recipients selects the top 10 from
among all those completing the comprehensive and rigorous
application process. In addition to the public recognition, each
teacher is presented with a personal cash award and a distinctive
trophy.
The Arch Coal Teacher Achievement Awards are supported in
program promotion by the Office of the Governor, Wyoming Department
of Education, the Wyoming Library Community, the Wyoming Education
Association, and Taco John's.
