Celebrate Our Teachers on National Teacher Day 
Slideshow Great teachers make great public schools! On National Teacher Day, thousands of communities take time to honor their local educators and acknowledge the crucial role that teachers play in making sure every student receives a quality education.

--Horace Mann
