Crippen was chosen as the very first recipient of the Award of Character. During the surprise visit, a Hall of Fame representative explains to her class that she is “in a class of her own,” noting how her curriculum has reached “millions across the globe” and inspired fans who once knew nothing about football to care about both the game and the lessons embedded in it.
Hall of Famer Dwight Stephenson, a legendary Miami Dolphins offensive lineman, joins the presentation, underscoring the connection between the gold‑jacket standard in Canton and the “little” everyday work happening in an elementary classroom. For the Hall, honoring Crippen sends a message that the values it celebrates are lived out not only in stadiums, but also in schools where teachers quietly change lives.
