The NTHF has a museum on Emporia State's campus that honors the teachers inducted.

Every June, the Hall of Fame inducts five of the most outstanding educators in the United States.

[11] On June 13, 2013, the NTHF executive director Carol Strickland, along with former ESU President Michael Shonrock, Bill Maness, representing U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, and former mayor Rob Gilligan, broke ground by the one-room school house located on the Emporia State campus to build a memorial for the teachers that have fallen in the "line of duty".

The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was the main inspiration for the memorial.

[15] Since the bill was passed by both the United States House of Representatives and Senate, the memorial was signed by the President of the United States, and the memorial did not become a part of the National Park Service nor are federal funds used.
