-
The Cedar Hill ISD Education Foundation has been selected to receive one Texas Instruments Foundation Innovations in STEM Teaching Award. We are happy to introduce the inaugural campaign to identify the STEM Teacher of the Year for CHISD.
The winning teacher will receive a $10,000 cash prize, of which $5,000 is designated for the winning teacher to use as he/she wishes. The remaining $5,000 is to be used for STEM related professional development, technology, and/or classroom materials on the teacher’s campus.
Currently Texas Instruments offers these awards in Dallas ISD, Garland ISD, DeSoto ISD, Mesquite ISD, Richardson ISD, Plano ISD and Lancaster ISD. Being selected to be a part of this program is a great honor and shows the respect Texas Instruments has for the level of teaching excellence demonstrated in Cedar Hill ISD.
