The New Orleans Excellence in Teaching Awards (NOETA) Gala is a night to honor and celebrate our city's top public school teachers.
About this Event

Join us to celebrate our city's most outstanding teachers at the New Orleans Excellence in Teaching Awards Gala, presented by Entergy! The award is a part of the Allstate Sugar Bowl New Orleans Teacher Community initiative.

Dress to impress and get ready to mingle with fellow educators, school administrators, and community members. The night will be filled with delicious food, drinks, and live entertainment.

The New Orleans Excellence in Teaching Awards are bestowed on the city's top educators — one from each New Orleans public school — and include a $1,000 Classroom Excellence Grant.

Join us as we recognize and honor these dedicated educators, who are making the difference for students across New Orleans.
