NOMINATE AN OUTSTANDING TEACHER

The Carlston Family Foundation strives...

to identify California high school teachers who have a profound, life-changing academic influence on their students;
to provide these teachers with recognition and reward;
to work with these teachers to help shape the academic environment of the California public school system.

If you have had a life-changing experience with a teacher, we would like to hear your story. Our Foundation is looking for individuals who turned their lives around academically and who attribute that turnaround to an extraordinary high school teacher. If you are such a person, we would like to hear how this teacher changed your academic and personal pathway.
