The Golden Deeds for Education Award is considered the most coveted award in the field of Texas education and the highest recognition for distinguished service to education in the state. The award, presented jointly by TASA and the Texas A&M University Department of Educational Administration and Human Resource Development, is given to an individual from any profession who has consistently supported Texas students and teachers through his/her positive impact on public education. Since 2020, it is awarded at the TASA Midwinter Conference.
