For the seventh straight year, McDonald’s is recognizing the teachers who make a daily impact in communities across the region. Nominations are now open for the 2026 McDonald’s Outstanding Educator Awards, which honor educators who inspire, uplift, and change lives in and out of the classroom.
Community members are encouraged to nominate deserving teachers by visiting mcdonaldsmo.com/outstanding-educator. Each winner will receive a $250 Visa gift card along with public recognition for their dedication throughout the school year.
The program continues to grow as families, students, and colleagues share stories of educators who go above and beyond. McDonald’s says the annual awards are one way to celebrate the commitment and heart local teachers bring to their work every day.
