Education is the foundation of a progressive society, and at the heart of this system are the dedicated teachers, school heads, and nonteaching personnel who tirelessly work to shape the future of our youth. To recognize their outstanding contributions, the Philippine Public School Teachers Association (PPSTA) proudly announces the 2025 PPSTA Search for Outstanding Teachers, School Heads, and Nonteaching Personnel.

The competition, which spans multiple levels—division, regional, and national—will culminate in a grand National Awarding Ceremony on December 11–12, 2025.
