About Teacher Tribute

With the help of its founding partners, Arrow Dealerships created the now renowned Teacher Tribute program during the 1997-1998 school year. The purpose of the Teacher Tribute program is to give students of Abilene and the Big Country the opportunity to recognize and say "THANK YOU" to the teachers who have inspired and motivated them to do their best. The program is successful because of the relationship that exists between the teachers and students of the Big Country. One of the most unique things about Teacher Tribute is how our West Texas values shine through: the teachers give out loving and caring education while the students give back loving and caring appreciation.

Students submit nomination letters to Teacher Tribute selection committee. This nomination describes to the committee how the teacher has made a positive impact in their lives. Each honoree is given a designated week in which they are "honored" by the media partners in the following ways:

Feature on KTXS in a 6 o'clock news story and a 30 second commercial that runs during the week PLUS a guest appearance on KTXS morning weather.
Featured guest during Wake Up Country on KEAN 105 with Rudy Fernandez.
Their picture along with their story about their inspiration for becoming a teacher appears in Hispanic Life.
Featured billboard on LAMAR Billboards around Abilene.
Receive $100 check and a brand new car to drive, courtesy of Arrow Dealerships.
Prize from KEAN 105, KTXS, Arrow Ford, Hispanic Life Magazine, Miguel's Mex Tex Cafe and Buffalo Wild Wings.
