The Howard-Suamico Education Foundation (HSEF) and Howard-Suamico School District (HSSD) are excited to announce the 3rd annual CARE Award winners.
Please join us in congratulating our 2024 CARE Award winners! They were recognized during the Staff Appreciation Event on May 10:

One employee at each building was recognized for demonstrating positive characteristics that contribute to our caring learning community.
These awards were determined through an anonymous peer voting process at each HSSD building. Voting was based on how the employees 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.
