H-E-B launched the Excellence in Education Awards program in cooperation with TASA in 2002 as a positive way to support public education in Texas. The awards celebrate public school professionals whose leadership and dedication inspire a love of learning in students of all backgrounds and abilities. This program is designed to recognize the accomplishments of outstanding public school educators, districts, early childhood facilities and school boards across the state of Texas. Since the programs inception in 2002, more than $8 million dollars has been awarded to deserving educators.A total of 10 regional finalists will be awarded $1,000 each plus $2,500 for their schools. In addition, one elementary school and one secondary school principal will receive $10,000 for themselves plus $25,000 for their schools.
