GoTeach! Classroom Grants Launch Innovation in Palm Beach County Schools

The Education Foundation of Palm Beach County awarded 82 GoTeach! Classroom Grants totaling more than $207,000, supporting 135 teachers across 50 schools in the School District of Palm Beach County.

Educators, sponsors, community partners, elected officials, and District leaders gathered on October 29, 2026, at the Center for Public School Excellence & Innovation for the GoTeach! Classroom Grant Awards. This year’s theme, “Launching Innovation,” celebrated the creativity and dedication of educators bringing new possibilities to their classrooms.

Behind every grant is an educator with an idea to spark curiosity, build confidence, and help students succeed. With awards ranging from $1,000 to $5,000, these programs will support literacy, STEM—including artificial intelligence—career and technical education, financial literacy, student resiliency, and other priority areas.

The evening showcased student talent, with food catered by West Boca Raton Community High School’s Culinary Arts Academy and an opening video produced by Palm Beach Lakes Community High School’s Esports Academy.  The awards ceremony celebrated the educators whose ideas will bring new learning experiences to their classrooms, highlighting both their creativity and the community support that makes GoTeach! possible.

To our grant recipients: Thank you for imagining new possibilities for your students and bringing those ideas to life.

To our sponsors, donors, and community partners: Thank you for investing in our educators and the students they inspire. Your generosity helps turn classroom ideas into opportunities to learn, explore, and grow.

GoTeach! Classroom Grants are funded through the generosity of local businesses, individuals, and philanthropic organizations, with support from the State of Florida’s School District Education Foundation Matching Grant Program, administered through the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations.

We look forward to sharing these programs in action throughout the school year!
