About the Utah PTA Golden Apple Awards

Each year, the Golden Apple Awards are presented by the Utah PTA and KUED in recognition of six outstanding educators and two exceptional volunteers. Selected from nominees from every school in Utah, these educators provide children with the educational and social tools needed to succeed.

Hosted by Ted Capener, the hour-long program features short video profiles shot in each winner's school, to reflect the teaching styles of each recipient, along with comments from students and peers. Educator awards are presented by the Governor and First Lady of Utah. Volunteer awards are presented by the Utah PTA President and Utah Education Association President.

"KUED has a strong commitment to education in Utah," says Larry S. Smith, general manager. "These awards are a reminder of how everyone benefits when a talented teacher enriches the life of a child."
