Head of The Class is a program that recognizes teachers in Cuyahoga County for making a difference in the lives of students inside and outside the classroom. Teachers are nominated by their peers and one winner is selected each month of the season based on their outstanding contributions to education. In addition to their surprise visit, the award entitles the teachers to dinner at Bridges Restaurant at Gund Arena and two tickets to a Cavaliers game.
