Nominations now being accepted for the 2024 Edna V. Folger Outstanding Teacher Award
Edna Folger set the early standard for teachers in Columbus. In her honor the Edna V. Folger Outstanding Teacher Award was created to renew awareness of the immeasurable influence teachers have on their students and recognize the traditional image of the teacher as a community role model. The award was established by Arvin Industries and is currently sponsored by SIHO Insurance Services, the Community Education Coalition and the IUPUC Center for Teaching & Learning.
