We have gathered some more images from the Hartlepool Mail archives, each showing a teacher who has given sterling service to the children of the area.
Take a look and see if you can spot a teacher who you knew and admired from your time in the classroom.
Some are recent and some from further back but they have one thing in common – they will be remembered by many.
