Wholistic Teacher Award
LAHS Wholistic Teacher Award
The LAHS Wholistic Teacher Award honors teachers who not only challenge and motivate students in their classroom, but also show interest in their students' activities and lives outside of class. Each year, each winning teacher gets school-wide recognition, a $400 check from the PTSA and their name inscribed on a plaque outside of the library.
To qualify, a teacher must be an instructor at Los Altos High School for at least two years (including the current school year). In addition, in order to recognize the many great teachers we have at LAHS, the teacher must also not have won the Wholistic Teacher Award in the previous five (5) years.
