Our Story
Alpaca started in 2022 with a mission of making it easier to support teachers. We started with teacher recognition through our unique celebration packs, and have grown to include teacher wellbeing programs, pulse surveys, and resources to support school leaders.
With more than 100+ participating schools and districts across the country, we are just getting started!
