"Administrator of the Year" award program, we honor
leaders for their dedication, hard work and
compassion for public education. Five state ACSA awards
and 19 Administrator of the Year awards (each

leadership) are granted annually.

Tracy Gaffey Award
This award is made in
memory of Tracy Gaffey, former consultant for ACSA
Region XVII. Tracy dedicated his life to the
unwavering support of aspiring administrators as
well as those already in leadership positions. His
gentle, caring manner endeared him to all he
mentored.
Tracy Gaffey was a
lifelong educator: a teacher, principal,
superintendent, and professor who had the gift of
seeing the potential within his students and those
he mentored. He was a visionary who possessed
insight into people and leadership positions in
Orange County. He inspired trust among
administrators, provided guidance and honest input
with a caring and diplomatic manner. He was
respectful and protective of administrators because
he understood; he had lived their experience.

administrators in their personal and professional
growth thereby contributing significantly to public
education and educational leadership in Orange
County.
