This program celebrates the invaluable contributions of school district staff in categories such as librarian/media specialist, coach/club adviser, school nurse, bus driver/aide, custodian/maintenance/building and grounds, cafeteria/food services, crossing guard, secretary/administrative assistant, paraprofessional/aide, HR professional, and technology professional.
These individuals work tirelessly behind the scenes, often without recognition or thanks, to ensure that our schools run smoothly and provide a safe and nurturing environment for our students.
We invite you to nominate the superheroes in your district here and help us shine a light on the amazing work they do every day.
