Nevada Cattlemen’s Association Seeking 2026 Teacher of the Year Nominations
The Nevada Cattlemen’s Association has started their annual quest for “Teacher of the Year” candidates and are asking for your help in soliciting nominations. The deadline for submitting nominations is May 6th, 2026. Teachers may also nominate themselves for the Teacher of the Year award.
Nominees must be an elementary, junior high, or high school teacher who incorporates agriculture into their regular curriculum. For example, a teacher who teaches a one-week segment on agriculture and its importance to Nevada. Current Agricultural Education teachers are not eligible. Nominees may also include teachers considered in previous years but were not selected for the award. Nominations must include a completed NCA Teacher of the Year application form and an attached short essay describing why you/the teacher is being nominated.
The winner of this award will receive a $1,000 school supply stipend courtesy of the Nevada Agriculture Foundation. The award recipient will also be recognized during the 2026 Nevada Cattlemen’s Association Annual Awards Banquet in Elko, Nevada on November 12-14, 2026.
Anyone may submit a nomination form which is available at below.
For any questions, please contact the NCA office at 775-738-9214.
