Fellow Spotlight: Craig Harper Named 2025 Carmel Clay Schools Teacher of the Year
We are thrilled to celebrate one of our very own STARTedUP Fellows, Craig Harper, for being named the 2025 Teacher of the Year at Carmel High School!
Craig has long exemplified what it means to be an educator committed to empowering students. Not just with knowledge, but with curiosity, patience, confidence, and a sense of purpose. Whether he's guiding students to think deeply about the health care system, or challenging them to see the real-world impact of their ideas, Craig's classroom has always been an innovation hub in every sense of the word.
His recent honor from Carmel Clay Schools is a testament to the profound and lasting impact he’s had on his school community. Former students, staff, and even his first grade teacher came together to share heartfelt stories of Craig’s dedication, creativity, and compassion.
From all of us at STARTedUP, Congratulations, Craig!
Your passion and commitment to education inspire us—and so many others—every single day.
