Teacher Appreciation: How Internet Access Empowers Educators
May 15, 2025 | General
Celebrating Teachers & Staying Connected in a Digital World
At Hunter Communications, we believe that great communities are built by great teachers — and that technology plays a key role in their success. That’s why we’re celebrating teachers & staying connected not just during Teacher Appreciation Week (May 5–9), but all year long. From classroom instruction to after-hours lesson planning, internet access empowers educators to do what they do best: inspire, lead, and support the next generation.
This week, we’ve been visiting schools across Oregon to express our gratitude in person, and we’re continuing to support educators with fast, reliable internet and exclusive K–12 teacher discounts designed to help them stay connected at school and at home with Hunter Communications’ fiber-optic network.
Because when it comes to education, how internet access empowers educators goes far beyond connectivity, it’s about creating real opportunities for impact, innovation, and community.
Why Internet Access Matters for Educators
Educators are no longer just managing classrooms, they’re managing digital platforms, video calls, virtual learning tools, and real-time communication with families. All of this demands a fast, reliable internet connection.
That’s exactly why Hunter Communications offers a Teacher Discount to support the connection between teacher appreciation and meaningful infrastructure that empowers educators to do their jobs well.
Technology Is Reshaping the Teaching Experience
Today, tools like Google Classroom, digital textbooks, and online training sessions are standard. And during off-hours, teachers still need strong internet for everything from Zoom meetings to prepping multimedia-rich lessons.
That’s why teacher appreciation also means recognizing the systems educators rely on including high-speed, symmetrical internet. Our Teacher Discount offers a fiber connection designed to keep up with educators’ demands at school and at home.
