Submit a Nomination for 2025 Teacher, Administrator or School Volunteer of the Year

January 22, 2025

At every Catholic school in the Diocese of Des Moines, we provide education rooted in faith, focused on excellence and supported by a caring community while also providing the best value to our families. That's only possible thanks to the outstanding teachers, administrators and school volunteers who dedicate their talents to our schools every day.

Here's your opportunity to tell them how much they're appreciated.

Nominate a teacher, administrator and/or school volunteer to be recognized at the 2025 Bishop's Celebration of Catholic Schools. Nominations are due February 16, 2025, and the winners will be announced the first week of March. You may nominate one individual in each of the three categories, but only one form may be submitted per nomination.

The Diocese of Des Moines will host the Bishop’s Celebration of Catholic Schools on Saturday, September 13, 2025. This event unites the entire Diocese of Des Moines community in celebration of the life-changing impact our faith-centered education has provided for more than 150 years.
