2026 R.E.B. Teacher Nominations
Dear Families, Faculty, and Staff,
The Community Foundation is now accepting nominations for the 2026 R.E.B. Awards for Teaching Excellence, a program that recognizes Hanover County Public Schools teachers and others in the Richmond area for their distinguished work in the classroom.
Students, parents, colleagues, school staff, including assistant principals and senior teachers, and community members may nominate an outstanding teacher by visiting the Community Foundation website. The deadline for nominations is Tuesday, February 17 at 5 p.m.
The R.E.B. Awards recognize public school teachers in the Richmond area who have distinguished themselves by their inspiring classroom performance. They will give grants of up to $15,000 each to approximately 15 teachers to support professional learning activities. Recipients will need to share educational ideas and experiences with fellow teachers.
