Crystal Apple Awards

The Crystal Apple Awards recognize public school educators who have made a positive impact on the lives of their students. The program was established in 1999 as the Tri-City Crystal Apple Awards and has been managed by the Dream Builder’s Educational Foundation since 2010. Teachers from the following nine public school districts are eligible: Columbia, Finley, Kennewick, Kiona-Benton, North Franklin, Othello, Pasco, Prosser, and Richland. Teachers are nominated by their school districts; winners receive $1,000 checks, certificates, and a crystal apple trophy.
