Teacher Appreciation Week | May 4–8, 2026
At College Place Public Schools, we celebrate the heart of our schools—our teachers.
Every day, they show up with passion, patience, and purpose—creating safe spaces, inspiring curiosity, and shaping the future one student at a time. From early mornings to late afternoons (and all the moments in between), their impact goes far beyond the classroom.
To our CPPS teachers:
Thank you for the care you give, the connections you build, and the difference you make—every single day.
We see you. We appreciate you. We celebrate you.
