Each year, ACSA recognizes a select group of individuals for their significant contributions to education through three prestigious awards named in memory of past ACSA leaders:

• Ferd. Kiesel Distinguished Service Award

• Marcus Foster Memorial Award

• Robert E. Kelly Award

In addition, members are honored for outstanding performance and achievement as Administrators of the Year in various job-alike categories.

The Valuing Diversity Award is given to the member whose efforts to promote diversity epitomize ACSA’s mission statement.

The Outstanding Media Coverage of Public Education Award recognizes media outlets that go above and beyond regular reporting to highlight the many attributes of public education. All 19 regions are encouraged to honor journalists/media outlets annually. This award also helps to further ACSA’s working relationships with the news media.

Programs and businesses that collaborate with administrators in support of education are also recognized though the Partners in Educational Excellence Award.

Students of all grade levels are recognized through the Every Student Succeeding Program, designed to honor students who have succeeded against all odds.

IMPORTANT!

The deadline for submission of nominations to ACSA Region XVII was Friday, January 25, 2008; state ACSA was February 8, 2008.

Awards will be presented at ACSA’s Leadership Summit in San Diego, November 6-8, 2008.
