  • Superintendent 100 Awards

    Sponsored by InTouch Credit Union, the Superintendent 100 is intended to honor up to one hundred support staff members who go beyond the call of duty as they perform their job responsibilities. Support staff includes auxiliary and paraprofessional team members who either have frequent or daily contact with students or who do not have student interaction. Nominees will be recognized at the event by Superintendent of Schools Dr. Theresa Williams announcing this year's winners. Congratulations to this year’s Superintendent 100 Winners.
