In the spring of every year, the UACA solicits nominations from public and private high schools, middle schools, elementary schools, and pre-schools located within Upper Arlington for the most deserving teacher in each school. Nominations are made by students, parents and peers. The nominations are reviewed by the UACA Directors and the “Golden Apple” recipient is selected for each school. In April, personal presentations are made to each to the teachers, in a surprise classroom visit. Each winners a plaque from UACA and public recognition among the community.

Nominations for 2013 are now closed.
