MPS announced the 2023-2024 Teachers of the Year, each representing their current school site.
Moore Public Schools announced the 2025-2026 Teachers of the Year, each representing their current school site. Teachers of the Year (TOY) are nominated by their peers in September of each school year, with results available in mid-fall. Each school TOY is then invited to complete Part One of the District TOY application during October & November.
Five finalists for the MPS District TOY will be announced just after winter break, after which time they will complete Part Two of the MPS District TOY application. In April, the MPS District Teacher of the Year winner is announced at the annual Moore Public Schools Excellence in Education Ceremony. This ceremony also honors the accomplishments of each site-level TOY and the five finalists for District TOY.
