Teachers make a lasting impact on their students, schools, and communities every day. The Scott Vicknair All-Star Teacher Award was created to recognize Louisiana educators who go above and beyond for their students and give back to the communities they serve.
The award is inspired by a teacher who has a special place in the heart of Scott Vicknair Injury Lawyers’ founder, David Vicknair. David’s mother, Mrs. Martha, was a Louisiana teacher for more than 30 years. Her dedication to her students gave David a firsthand understanding of the difference a great teacher can make in a child’s life.
“Teachers have always held a special place in my heart. My mom was a teacher for 30 years, so I’ve seen firsthand the difference a great teacher can make in a child’s life and how much they give of themselves every single day. That’s why recognizing and giving back to Louisiana teachers is so important to me and to our entire team at Scott Vicknair Injury Lawyers.”
— David Vicknair
