Celebration of Excellence 2026

A Celebration of Excellence also honors the Distinguished Educators who had the most positive impact on their students’ academic journey. Each student writes a short message about why that educator was selected. Each educator selects a special book as a gift for the Distinguished Student.

The Helena Education Foundation salutes these fine educators and thanks them for sharing their talents, knowledge, creativity and love of learning with our youth. They make a difference in our schools and community, one student and one class at a time.

Congratulations to the 2026 Distinguished Students and Distinguished Educators

And thank you to our 2026 Celebration of Excellence sponsors!
