Every year, the Huntsman Awards Committee encourages students, classroom parents, colleagues and supervisors to nominate the state’s most talented teachers, administrators, volunteers or special education teachers. All schools and districts throughout the entire state of Utah are invited to participate.
Nominations are reviewed by an initial application reading committee, which includes Karen Huntsman and other members of the Huntsman family. The committee looks for nominees who exemplify excellence by having a direct, positive impact on the lives and education of public school children. The committee chooses the most outstanding nominees and gives their applications to a panel of judges for the final selection.
In the final round, judges select a total of eleven winners across the four award categories — two teachers and one administrator each from elementary, middle and high schools; one dedicated volunteer; and one special education teacher, who will receive the Mark H. Huntsman Award for Special Education, which is named in honor of the Huntsmans’ son whose own experience demonstrates the importance of special education in public schools.
