Sarah K. Wood Award for Outstanding Staff Performance

As we continue to find our way together during these challenging times, we are constantly reminded of the many amazing individuals who make up our community.  All of our lives have been turned upside down due to COVID-19 and yet we are still witness to incredible dedication and commitment in all different forms.  It is important to recognize the exemplary contributions of our staff especially, during the midst of all the uncertainty.

With that said, the Sarah K. Wood Award for Outstanding Staff Performance recognizes a staff member who demonstrates the qualities of dedication, competence, positive attitude, initiative, and ability to mentor, encourage, and inspire others, in addition to a demonstrated commitment to the School and its mission.  The overview and guidelines are here.
