Hawks To Honor Top Atlanta Teachers Chosen By Public for 'Year of the Teacher'

ATLANTA — Atlanta, Clorox and the Atlanta Hawks want to reward your favorite teacher for being, well, the best!

As a part of a season-long “Year of the Teacher,” the two organizations will team up to honor nine Atlanta Public School educators and provide them with much-needed classroom resources.

“On behalf of APS, I am thrilled that Clorox and the Hawks are continuing their support through the Year of the Teacher initiative,” said Dr. Lisa Herring, Superintendent, Atlanta Public Schools. “Our teachers work tirelessly each day to help our students reach their maximum potential. It means a great deal to them, and to me, to have this recognition opportunity. Thank you, Clorox and the Atlanta Hawks, for acknowledging and celebrating their work!”

Now through March 4, 2022, anyone can go on to Hawks.com/Teacher to nominate APS teachers to receive Clorox products for their respective schools and two tickets for a Hawks home game at State Farm Arena.

Each honoree will also receive a $500 gift card for school supplies and be recognized at the game.

“These teachers more than deserve to be recognized for their tenacity and innovation in teaching our youth in a difficult school year,” said Hawks Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility Andrea Carter. “We are excited to celebrate these agents of hope through our partnership with Clorox.”

The “Year of the Teacher” kicked off in September when the Hawks and Clorox partnered to donate $100,000 to Atlanta Public Schools, as well as $10,000 worth of cleaning supplies.
