The Area Progress Council’s Project Excellence program is seeking teacher nominations as it enters its twenty-first year of honoring public educators in Warren County, Ohio. 481 educators have been selected since the project began in 1988. Teachers will be selected from each of the county’s school districts.
The educators will be honored May 5 at a recognition banquet where they will receive a trophy and a cash award.
Committees to select the Excellent and Innovative teachers for each district are comprised of an Area Progress Council representative, the district superintendent and a representative from the community. The committees utilize criteria developed by Miami University. Nominations are reviewed and evaluated by the individual district selection committees for key terms and/or phrases to determine the 2008 award recipients.
If you know of a public educator who “has made a difference”, you are encouraged to submit a nomination via mail or email. A teacher can not be selected if he/she has not been nominated. Nomination forms may be obtained from the superintendent’s office of the districts, local banks and public libraries located in Warren County. Nominations are due March 7.
Project Excellence is a nonprofit foundation made possible by the volunteer efforts of visionary business leaders who are interested in the quality of public education in Warren County. It is funded solely through the generous contributions of supportive Warren County individuals, industries and businesses. The current endowment is valued at $1 million. To date the program has awarded $337,750.
Formally organized in 1969, APC is a nonprofit, non-political organization interested in the economic and social progress of Warren County. It is devoted to the study, investigation and promotion of activities to plan and prepare for the future.
