A History of the Jacksonville State University Teacher Hall of Fame In 1969, Jacksonville State University initiated a Teacher Hall of Fame under the direction of Dr. Houston Cole, who was president at that time. This program was to honor and to recognize the classroom teachers of the public schools in the State of Alabama. Specific criteria are used to select nominees. Nominee must be currently teaching subject matter to students at least fifty percent of each school day. Degrees held, length of teaching experience, and current teaching assignments are also taken into consideration. No preference is given to nominees who may have attended Jacksonville State University. They must maintain exemplary standards of behavior and ethics, exhibit leadership, be enthusiastic concerning teaching, demonstrate competency in subject matter, work well with colleagues and administrators, and constantly seek to encourage, inspire and motivate students toward greater accomplishment. Each public school system in the state is asked to nominate one elementary teacher, one middle-level teacher, and one secondary teacher each year to be considered for this award. School systems are urged to participate. Each school system determines the composition of the local selection committee; but it is suggested that members of the community be represented. The three nominations from each local school system must be sent to the state chairman no later than the established deadline. The president of Jacksonville State University appoints the state chairperson. The current chairperson is Dr. Kelly Ryan, of Jacksonville State University. The chairperson appoints a ten member Selection Committee, which reviews all nominations and selects the top five finalists in each category. These five finalists are interviewed by the Selection Committee. The final selection is made by secret ballot vote. All finalists attend a Teacher Hall of Fame banquet at Jacksonville State University, at which the winner is announced. Teachers who receive the Hall of Fame award will have a plaque in their honor placed in the lobby of the Houston Cole Library on the Jacksonville State University campus.
*The Middle school awards began in 1997
