State Citizenship Education Chair (Teacher's Award)
Kurt Semon
Teacher of the Year Program
Without our nation’s veterans,
America wouldn't be the great nation it is today. Our youth deserve to learn
about our rich history, traditions and the role of our veterans in creating and
shaping America.
Each year, the Veterans of Foreign Wars selects elementary, middle, and high
school teachers to participate in the Smart/Maher VFW National Citizenship
Education Teacher program.
We have the 2026-2027 nomination form available so you can nominate a teacher you know. Teacher nomination entries must be received at a local participating VFW Post by the Oct. 31 deadline.
