Each year, The History Channel honors teachers and students for their exceptional commitment to history education and historic preservation both in and out of the classroom. Twenty-four teachers and 24 students will receive $500 cash prizes, while one teacher and one student will be chosen as the Save Our History Teacher and Student of the Year, respectively. The Teacher and Student of the Year will each be awarded $5,000 and will be flown to Washington, D.C., in May or June of 2007, to be honored at the annual Save Our History National Event. Elementary, middle, and high school teachers and students are eligible to apply. Entries are due in March 2007. Guidelines, entry forms, and rules are available online at www.saveourhistory.com/awards/get_involved.html.
