James c. kapteyn prize
The James C. Kapteyn Prize was established to recognize high school teachers of exemplary character, integrity and honor who have made a career commitment to high school teaching of at least seven years and who lead by example, imparting to their students a lifelong love of learning and dedication to personal growth. The prize awards up to $10,000 annually and is open to teachers in Berkshire County and Franklin County, Mass., Columbia County and northeast Dutchess County, N.Y., and northwest Litchfield County, Conn.
In honor of the extraordinary work of educators and school communities throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the Kapteyn Prize will resume its annual award selection in 2022. Principals and Heads of School may nominate an outstanding educator who meets the vision of the fund by Feb. 7, 2022.
