Every year teachers and principals across the country get the surprise of a lifetime when we show up unannounced to present them with the Milken Educator Award and $25,000. Created nearly four decades ago by philanthropist and education visionary Lowell Milken, the Awards shine a spotlight on the very people who prepare generations of students for bright futures. With every assembly, one unsung hero will become a household name and join a national network working to shape the future of education. Up to 45 pioneering professionals will be honored this 2024-25 season, marking the 3,000th Milken Educator in the Awards’ ranks and celebrating a history of changing lives in communities across America, empowering recipients to broaden their impact on the American K-12 profession. The Milken Educator Award might come to a community near you! Who will be next? Join us as we surprise these remarkable individuals and celebrate their dedication to excellence in education! Follow along at #MEA3K and #MilkenAward to see the excitement unfold. Since 1987, the Milken Educator Awards have rewarded and inspired excellence in the world of education by honoring top educators around the country with $25,000 unrestricted awards. Not an accolade for “lifetime achievement” or the proverbial gold watch at the exit door, the Milken Educator Awards target early- to mid-career education professionals for their already impressive achievements and, more significantly, for the promise of what they will accomplish in the future.
