Help OnPoint Honor Our Community's Best Educators

As the COVID-19 crisis transforms and challenges the education system, teachers have worked hard to quickly adopt new ways to teach, support students and innovate with remote learning. In honor of their dedication through such unprecedented times, OnPoint Community Credit Union is proud to honor our roots and the teachers who continue to support students in and out of the classroom through the OnPoint Prize for Excellence in Education. This year, the program awarded nearly $100,000 to local teachers and schools. Here’s what the winning teachers and schools received:
