About This Award

The IHSAA “Coaches in the Classroom” program presented by Country Financial honors educators who extend their impact far beyond competition, demonstrating the same leadership, preparation, and character in their classrooms that they model on the sidelines.

This recognition celebrates coaches who foster academic achievement, create inclusive learning environments, and serve as trusted mentors to students navigating both school and life.

Ideal recipients are known for setting high expectations while offering meaningful support, collaborating with fellow faculty to elevate school culture, and consistently reinforcing values like accountability, resilience, and respect. Whether they are helping a struggling student regain confidence, inspiring college and career aspirations, or building connections that strengthen their communities, these coaches embody the powerful role education-based athletics plays in developing well-rounded young people across Idaho.
