Honor Credit Union announces winners of 2023 Annual Teacher Awards

Honor Credit Union is excited to announce the winners of its Annual Teacher Awards. For over 10 years, Honor Credit Union has supported educators in its communities through its Annual Teacher Awards, athletic programs, and an abundance of community partnerships throughout the years.

This year, Honor increased the value of its teacher awards to $500 per winner, increasing the total amount awarded to teachers to $15,000. Submission totals were just under 1,000 entries from teachers across 28 member center communities.

To apply, teachers submitted a short essay explaining how they would use the money to better their students’ education. After a blind selection, Honor team members chose winners and congratulated them on being the 2023 recipients. Recipients chose from their choice between a $500 Amazon digital gift card or check made payable to their school to be used in their classroom or school.

The 2023 Honor Credit Union Annual Teacher Award winners in the Tri-City Area are Coloma Elementary Kindergarten teacher, Julie Jerue and Doris Jones, who teaches second grade at Grace Christian School, Watervliet.
