The Kentucky Teacher Hall of Fame seeking nominations for the Class of 2025.
This prestigious honor celebrates outstanding educators across the commonwealth who have demonstrated exceptional dedication to their students and the teaching profession.
Eligible nominees must have at least 19 years of teaching experience, with a minimum of 10 years served in a Kentucky P-12 school. Both living and posthumous nominations are welcome.
Established in 2000 through a generous endowment from former Gov. Louie B. Nunn, the Kentucky Teacher Hall of Fame was created to recognize and honor the impactful work of educators who have shaped the lives of countless students across the state.
The Hall of Fame is housed within the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences at WKU, a leader in educator preparation and administrator training. WKU’s continued commitment to educational equity and regional partnerships makes it a fitting home for the Hall. It is located on the first floor of Gary Ransdell Hall.
An official induction ceremony for the 2025 class will be held later this year. Additional details will be announced on the Kentucky Teacher Hall of Fame website and WKU College of Education and Behavioral Sciences social media channels.
Nominations must be submitted by August 31, 2025. For more information or to access the nomination form and full requirements, please visit the Kentucky Teacher Hall of Fame website.
