One employee at each building was recognized for demonstrating positive characteristics that contribute to the HSSD caring learning community. These awards were determined through an anonymous peer voting process at each HSSD building.
Employees voted for colleagues who exhibit joy in their roles and a love for public education, foster healthy relationships with others, contribute to a positive school climate, and value every contribution with respect and honor.
Each HSSD CARE Award winner received the following, thanks to the partnership between HSEF and the sponsors:

About HSSD CARE Awards
CARE stands for Congratulate, Appreciate, Recognize, Esteem. It is HSSD’s belief that each person serving the district - from classrooms to lunch rooms, front offices, gymnasiums and beyond - makes a direct impact on the children and future of this community. Their work impacts many and the winners were recognized for their direct impact on students and the future of the community.
