The Oakland County Outstanding Teacher of the Year Awards are presented annually by the Oakland Schools Education Foundation to honor teachers who have achieved the highest standards of excellence. Oakland Schools created these awards based on the conviction that a quality public education system is essential to the health and vitality of the community. Established in 1987, the program was originally sponsored by Newsweek and WDIV and has since been supported by the Detroit Free Press, Comerica, the Oakland County Credit Union, and the Oakland Schools Education Foundation. The associated scholarship recognizes the symbiotic relationship between great teachers and successful students.
