Teacher Recognition

Above and Beyond Awards

Teachers/Counselors are nominated by parents and students for going "above and beyond" by giving their time and talents to help and encourage Wheeler students. The award recognizes teachers/counselors who are always willing to work hard to bring recognition to Wheeler and to support ideas which improve our school and its reputation in the community. Two teachers/counselors are selected from the nominations and receive a monetary award during Honors Night in the spring. Click here to submit a nomination for 2019.
