Houston Teachers Receive Award and Collective $240,000 in Grants from Kinder Foundation
Twelve extraordinary school teachers were honored in September 2015 with the Kinder Excellence in Teaching Award receiving a collective total of $240,000 from the Kinder Foundation. See their respective schools “surprise” them with their awards.
The Kinder Excellence in Teaching Award was established in honor of Edna C. Kinder, who taught special education students in Cape Girardeau, MO. Her son, Rich Kinder, co-founder and executive chairman of Kinder Morgan, and his wife Nancy Kinder, created the awards to recognize innovative and results-oriented teaching and to raise public awareness of the importance of effective and committed teachers.
