The Distinguished Teachers Awards Committee, Inc. is a nonprofit organization established in 1984 to recognize and celebrate excellence among the dedicated teaching staff of the Greenwich Public Schools. The Committee is comprised of approximately 20 members and is a balance of representatives from the Greenwich Education Association (teachers), the Greenwich Organization of School Administrators, PTA Council (parents), and Board of Education, and members of the community. Members serve a three-year term. The awardees are selected based solely on the written information provided in each candidate’s Nomination Packet.
Currently, the source of funding for the program is primarily the DTAC committee members, PTAs, Greenwich Organization of School Administrators and Greenwich Education Association. DTAC relies on contributions each year to fund monetary awards to the six Distinguished Teacher Award recipients, in addition to an awards ceremony.
