Nominate an outstanding staff member for the Superintendent’s Game Changer Award
Each month, the superintendent recognizes outstanding staff members who go above and beyond. Game Changers are those who step up to meet the needs of students; offer support and access to resources that assist their colleagues; provide an extra layer of support for families outside of the classroom; and who generally make a positive and sometimes life-changing difference in the lives of our students, families and their colleagues.
Each month, the superintendent chooses four staff members from each magisterial district to be recognized for outstanding service. One central office member monthly will be recognized as well.
Want to recognize a game changer in your life? Complete the nomination form. (Please know that your comments may be shared publicly as the recognition occurs.)
Nominations are due by the 21st of each month.
