Business Leadership Organized for Catholic Schools (BLOCS) is accepting nominations for its 2025 BLOCS Teacher of the Year Award. The award is sponsored by FlynnO’Hara Uniforms.

Parents, students, and school leaders from across the five-county Archdiocese of Philadelphia are encouraged to nominate educators who go above and beyond to support students in achieving their goals and overcoming challenges.

The Teacher of the Year will be celebrated at the 2025 BLOCS Gala May 29 at the Please Touch Museum. This year’s gala theme is “Building What Matters Most.” The honoree will receive recognition for their dedication to students and Catholic education along with a monetary award.

“The 2025 BLOCS Teacher Appreciation Award is in perfect harmony with our gala theme, ‘Building What Matters Most,’ because it allows our school community leaders to recognize and celebrate the educators who have made a profoundly impact in the lives of their students,” said Rob Delany, CEO of BLOCS, who also thanked FlynnO’Hara’s Sean Flynn for his ongoing support.

“We extend our heartfelt thanks to Sean Flynn, President and CEO of FlynnO’Hara Uniforms, for his unwavering support of students and teachers in Philadelphia, both through his company’s generosity and his dedicated service on the BLOCS Board of Directors.”
