The Educators Hall of Fame is held each year to honor and induct one or more former educators who have gone above and beyond for Bartlesville schools and the students.
The event also raises funds while spotlighting the impact of our Foundation with local businesses, legislative representatives and community leaders.

The 16th annual Educator Hall of Fame was held March 26, 2026. It was an inspiring evening celebrating inductees Carol Smith, David Benne and Kay Walker!

The Bartlesville Public Schools Foundation extends sincere gratitude to our generous sponsors whose partnership makes the Educator Hall of Fame possible. Their investment in this celebration of excellence allows us to honor the legacy of outstanding educators while continuing to support impactful programs across our district.
