Principals, Teachers, Counselors

Learn how your school can participate in the Taylor Awards Program for the 2019-20 School Year.

Principals, Teachers and Counselors: Due to the recent passage of Acts (#677 and #837) by the Louisiana Legislature, we can no longer request names or other data about your students. Instead, this year we ask that you submit only the number of qualifying students for each award level. We will ship blank membership certificates for you to personalize and distribute to students.
