Honor a legacy.
Inspire a future.

Do you know a rural Nebraska educator whose hard work and dedication have made a difference in the lives of students? Submissions are being sought for the One Room, One Teacher Wall of Honor at the University of Nebraska.

The Wall of Honor, located in the College of Education Atrium at the University of Nebraska at Kearney, recognizes Nebraska educators who served in a one-room school or other rural school. The program celebrates Nebraska’s education pioneers while raising scholarship funds for future educators at UNK. Honorees may be living or recognized posthumously. Educators honored do not need to be UNK graduates.

Family, friends and former students may make a gift to recognize an educator. Each year, a special ceremony on campus recognizes the honorees. Attendance is not required.

Create a lasting legacy today!

To honor an educator, please complete the submission form.

“The One Room, One Teacher Wall of Honor is a testament to the dedication, resilience and impact of those who shaped young minds in rural schools across Nebraska. This program holds deep personal significance for me, as my mother, Iris, was one of these remarkable educators. Her story, like so many honored on this wall, is a reminder of the profound influence teachers have, often in the humblest of settings.”

- UNK Interim Chancellor Charlie Bicak
