Whataburger Celebrates Teachers During Teacher Appreciation Week 2025

Teacher Appreciation Week is an important time to recognize the hard work and dedication of educators everywhere.

From May 5th to May 9th, 2025, various businesses and restaurants will offer special deals and freebies to show their gratitude. Among these, Whataburger is stepping up to honor teachers with a heartwarming initiative.

Whataburger's WhataTeacher Appreciation

Whataburger is celebrating National Teacher Appreciation Week by offering a free breakfast entrée to teachers and school staff.

From 5 a.m. to 9 a.m., educators can enjoy a complimentary Taquito with cheese, Breakfast on a Bun, or Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit by showing their school ID at participating locations.

This offer is valid for dine-in, drive-thru, and takeout orders. However, it's important to note that this deal is not available through online orders or the Whataburger app.

Classroom Grants

In addition to the free breakfast, Whataburger is also awarding $1,000 classroom grants to 75 educators. As part of their 75th-anniversary celebration, Whataburger will donate a total of $75,000 to teachers who are making a significant impact in their schools and communities.

These WhataTeacher grants are part of Whataburger's Feeding Student Success program, which supports education and combats food insecurity. Since the launch of the WhataTeacher initiative in 2022, Whataburger has donated over $160,000 in classroom grants.
