Broken Arrow Public Schools honored its top educators and staff at the annual Star Awards Gala, announcing Amanda Hundley from Aspen Creek Early Childhood Center as the 2025 District Teacher of the Year and Mickie Wyatt, Administrative Assistant for Athletics, as the recipient of the Beyond & Above Award, which recognizes the district’s top support employee.
Held at Stoney Creek Hotel, the event featured a sit-down dinner where 31 Site Teachers of the Year were introduced, five were named finalists, and Ms. Hundley was selected as the District Teacher of the Year.
Sponsored by the Broken Arrow Public Schools Foundation, all Teacher of the Year and Support Employee of the Year finalists received monetary gifts totaling $15,000.
As Teacher of the Year, Ms. Hundley received a paid vacation courtesy of Rebecca Olson with High Tower Accounting & Tax and Under the Sun Travel by Laura Greenleaf, along with the use of a district-owned courtesy car—complete with a detail by Stellar Details and a year of car washes from Tommy’s Express Car Wash. She will now advance to the State Teacher of the Year competition.
In addition to the Teacher of the Year announcement, five finalists were recognized for Support Employee of the Year, with Mickie Wyatt receiving the Beyond & Above Award for her outstanding dedication to the district’s mission. To celebrate their achievements, WRA Architects awarded cash prizes to each of the Beyond & Above Award finalists, and Supermercados Morelos is providing Ms. Wyatt with free groceries for a year.
