Education Hall of Fame Nomination Form

A 50 Year History of the Jacksonville State University Teacher Hall of Fame

In 1969, Jacksonville State University initiated a Teacher Hall of Fame under the direction of Dr. Houston Cole, who was president at that time. This program was to honor and to recognize the classroom teachers of the public schools in the State of Alabama. No preference was given to nominees that may have attended Jacksonville State University. They must have maintained exemplary standards of behavior and ethics, exhibited leadership, been enthusiastic about teaching, demonstrated competency in subject matter, worked well with colleagues and administrators, and constantly sought to encourage, inspire and motivate students toward greater accomplishment.

In 2019, the JSU Teacher Hall of Fame was replaced by the Education Alumni Hall of Fame which is detailed above.
