Senator Sally Turner launches 2025
Outstanding Teacher Program in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week
[May 07, 2025]
Springfield, IL— In celebration
of Teacher Appreciation Week, State Senator Sally Turner (R-Beason)
is once again honoring the incredible work of educators through her
“2025 Outstanding Teacher of the 44th Senate District” program.
The initiative seeks to recognize teachers who have made a
meaningful impact on their students and school community through
dedication, innovation, and excellence in the classroom. Senator
Turner encourages students, parents, colleagues, and community
members to nominate deserving educators who go above and beyond.
“I am proud to once again launch my Outstanding Teacher program to
recognize the amazing work educators do each and every day,” said
Senator Sally Turner. “Our teachers play a critical role in shaping
future generations, and this program is a small way to say thank you
for all they do.”
Eligible nominees must currently teach at a grade school, middle
school, or high school within the 44th Senate District. The winner(s)
will be selected based on the quality of the nomination submitted,
not the number of submissions received.
Nominations are open through May 31 and can be submitted online. The
winner(s) will be notified during the summer. The selected teacher(s)
will receive formal recognition from the Illinois State Senate,
including an official certificate, a chance for special
acknowledgment in Springfield, and a gift card in appreciation of
their service.

“Teachers often go
unrecognized for the countless ways they support, inspire, and
uplift their students,” continued Senator Sally Turner. “This
program gives us a chance to spotlight those everyday heroes who
are quietly making a profound difference in our schools and
communities.”
