Hattie B’s Hot Chicken is honored to team up with Dave Campbell’s Texas Football to present the Inspirational Teacher Award — celebrating the educators who go above and beyond to impact the lives of their students and communities.

During football season, schools in the DFW and Austin areas will spotlight a teacher who embodies passion, leadership, and dedication both in and out of the classroom. The selected teacher will be recognized at a school event, and Hattie B’s will serve lunch for the entire faculty as a way to say thank you to the staff who support and inspire students every day. In addition, a $500 donation will be made in the honored teacher’s name.

Just like the game of football, teaching is about heart, perseverance, and inspiring others to be their best. That’s why Hattie B’s is proud to stand behind this program and honor the teachers shaping the future of Texas.

Because great teachers deserve more than a thank you — they deserve to be celebrated.
