National History Teacher of the Year Award Ceremony

Join us for a special live-streamed event: the 2023 National History Teacher of the Year Ceremony

On October 24, Deborah Roberts, Peabody and Emmy Award–winning ABC News 20/20 Co-Host and Senior National Affairs Correspondent, will present the National History Teacher of the Year award in a special live stream of our in-person event at 5 p.m. ET. A video showcasing the winner’s extraordinary career, produced by HISTORY®, will be a highlight of the program. 

This year, we also celebrate the twentieth National History Teacher of the Year award. Tune in for a special tribute from former First Lady Laura Bush, who in 2004 hosted the first NHTOY ceremony in the East Room of the White House. 

We invite all teachers, students, parents, and history lovers to attend this event.
