About the Golden Apple Award
The Diocese of Greensburg is excited to celebrate excellence in teaching and leadership in the Catholic schools by recognizing exceptional educators and administrators with a Golden Apple Award. This award honors outstanding individuals who symbolize excellence in and out of the classroom, are committed to Catholic values, and who devote their lives to Catholic education. The Diocese recognizes the impact that each teacher has on the development of a child and deeply appreciates the unique charge Catholic school teachers and administrators have to the development of each student, and is thrilled to express appreciation through the Golden Apple Award program.
The Golden Apple Award is given annually to three teachers and one principal within the 12 schools of the Diocese of Greensburg. The award will consist of a beautiful engraved Golden Apple award and $5,000 for the awardee’s unrestricted personal use.
