Milken Award Teachers
Since 2004, five Augsburg teacher-education graduates have received the prestigious Milken Award, which provides public recognition and financial awards to elementary and secondary education professionals who further excellence in education.
The Milken Family Foundation has been recognizing teachers and principals around the country for 20 years for their effectiveness in the classroom, accomplishments outside the classroom, leadership, and the ability to inspire students, teachers, and the community.
