The September 2025 Pepsi Teacher of the Month is Marco Martinez of Del Norte High School
Marco Martinez is the Pepsi/APS Education Foundation’s Teacher of the Month for September. For the past 15 years, Pepsi and the APS Education Foundation have partnered to recognize a few of the district’s outstanding teachers for their contributions to the classroom, school, and community.
The Foundation randomly selects one APS school each month, and that school’s principal or staff chooses a teacher to be honored. The teacher receives a $100 check from Pepsi and acknowledgment on the APS website, Facebook page, and electronic billboards. In their second year, Dion's is recognizing teachers by donating a gift card.
They receive a small token of appreciation but represent the many outstanding teachers in Albuquerque Public Schools.
