Staff recognition occurs in each building and across our District, including a District-wide nomination program called Making a Difference.

    • Dozens of staff members are recognized monthly for Making a Difference. Any staff member can nominate another staff member or student for Making a Difference in big and small ways and living our District’s core values. Then, HR and the superintendent celebrate nominees with a surprise recognition, which is caught on video.
