The Golden Apple Awards: Celebrating Excellence in Education

Honoring Excellence in Education

The Golden Apple Awards honors successful teaching models and programs among Washington state educators and the public at large. For the seventeenth year, the Golden Apple Awards will honor ten individuals and educational programs that represent the best in Washington state education. Recipients will be featured in a primetime special that will air on public television stations across the state and will receive a financial award.

Nominations for the 17th Annual Golden Apple Awards came to a close on April 30. This year, KCTS 9 received over 200 Golden Apple nominations from across the state – Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Mukilteo, Cle Elum and Olympia (to name a few).

Thank you to all who nominated a teacher, volunteer, administrator, staff, community organization or local business making a difference in our children’s lives.

Judging will take place over the summer months and an announcement will be made on October 1, 2008.

The KCTS 9 Golden Apple Awards are sponsored by KCTS Television and are made possible through funding from PEMCO Insurance.
