Observed May 4–8, National Teacher Appreciation Week recognizes the dedication and impact of educators across the country. This year’s theme from the National Education Association encourages communities to turn gratitude into action by supporting teachers in meaningful ways.

 

At Mount St. Joseph University, the week highlights both current educators and future teachers prepared through its School of Education. It’s a time to celebrate those who inspire, guide, and shape the next generation—and to show appreciation that lasts well beyond the classroom.
