We are thrilled to announce the 2026 Brookings School District Teachers of the Year and Educational Support Professional of the Year!
Each of our six schools, along with our Administration Office and Transportation Department, has selected outstanding individuals who go above and beyond to make a difference in the lives of our students. These incredible educators and support staff exemplify dedication, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. 
Teacher of the Year (TOY) recognizes classroom teachers who inspire students of all backgrounds, demonstrate exceptional skill, and positively impact both their school and community.
Educational Support Professional of the Year (ESPOY) honors the unsung heroes of our district—counselors, librarians, custodial staff, food service workers, tech support, paraprofessionals, and more—who help create safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environments.
Join us in celebrating these amazing individuals!
