Benjamin Phillian, a teacher at Turkeyfoot Valley Area High School, has been recognized by the Yale Office of Undergraduate Admissions as a recipient of the 2023 Yale Educator Award.

The program recognizes outstanding educators from around the world who support and inspire their students to perform at high levels and to achieve excellence. Of this year’s 385 nominees, who represent 43 states and 28 countries, 80 teachers and 32 counselors were selected to receive the award. Matriculating students are invited to nominate high school educators, and a committee of Yale admissions officers reviews each nomination individually and designates recipients.

In September, the winners were sent their awards with congratulatory letters, and administrators of the high schools were notified of their achievement.
