The Evening of Excellence in Catholic School Education
The Evening of Excellence will honor eight outstanding teachers from across our Catholic school community, including the recipient of the 2025–2026 Christ the Teacher Award. Enjoy an evening of celebration featuring musical performances by our talented Catholic school choirs, orchestras, and bands as we recognize the educators who make a lasting difference in the lives of our students.
Beyond celebrating our teachers, this special evening supports the continued professional formation of Catholic educators through the Emmaus Institute. Our goal is to raise $50,000 to provide meaningful, high-quality formation opportunities that strengthen our teachers and sustain a tradition of excellence in Catholic education.
100% of your support helps us serve students and families across Catholic school campuses throughout the greater Memphis area.
