A good teacher inspires for a semester; a GREAT teacher impacts for life.

The University of Mississippi School of Education asks its students, alumni and friends of education everywhere to recognize a teacher who's made a difference in the lives of others. We want to archive their stories.

Each distinguished teacher will receive a letter from School of Education dean Dr. David Rock and be recognized online for making a difference in the lives of others. We will also send them a copy of your letter. You may include your name or remain anonymous if you choose.

For a donation to the School of Education's general fund, you can thank a teacher today!

We encourage all to submit a photo of their favorite teacher or a personal video of thanks. Please email image files or video links to thankateacher@olemiss.edu after you've submitted your letter of praise and donation.
