Nominate a Coach for NHSEB’s Coach of the Year Award

Nominations are now open for the National High School Ethics Bowl’s 2025 Coach of the Year Award. Nominations may be submitted in written form (with a maximum length of 500 words), or via a short video narrative (with a maximum length of 3 minutes). Nominations will be accepted through March 21, 2025. All nominations will be reviewed by NHSEB’s Special Committee on Equity, Access, and Community, and winners will be announced at the 2025 National Championship Awards Ceremony in Chapel Hill.

Established in 2023, the Coach of the Year Award is designed to celebrate the extraordinary impact educators have on the Ethics Bowl activity. It annually recognizes the Ethics Bowl Coach who most clearly and consistently expresses and promotes our program’s core values: dialogue over disagreement, reasoning over rhetoric, and an appreciation for moral nuance wherever it exists. Teachers make the activity what it is, and all that NHSEB students accomplish would scarcely be possible without their effort and example. Winners receive an official citation, a commemorative plaque, and a $500 honorarium to aid in the development of Ethics Bowl programming at their schools.
