Nominations for the 32nd-annual Golden Apple Awards are now open.
Since its inception, 54 PCSD teachers have been awarded Golden Apple awards including two current teachers who won while at different districts and one who won as an individual and as a team member.
After being inspired by a recognition event in Florida to honor teachers, Donald J. Long Sr., founder of Imperial Inc. (now Imperial Supplies) began laying the groundwork for the Golden Apple Awards in 1986. Thanks to his perseverance, the first Golden Apple Awards were presented in 1994.
The program annually recognizes high-quality educators in Greater Green Bay in areas of professionalism, leadership, and innovation. The awards are open to teachers or teams of teachers currently working in participating Partners in Education public and private schools in Greater Green Bay.

The 2025 Golden Apple ceremony is 5 to 8:30 p.m. April 2, 2025, at Oneida Hotel. The event has been pushed up due to the NFL Draft being held in Green Bay in April.
