Those Who Excel Awards
Since 1970, the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) has sponsored Those Who Excel and Teacher of the Year Awards to honor individuals who have made significant contributions to our state's public and nonpublic elementary and secondary schools. Those Who Excel Awards are presented in five categories: school administrator, student support personnel, educational service personnel, community volunteer, and teams. In addition, ISBE hosts a Teacher of the Year program to honor that category of educators. District 15 was honored to recognize the five District nominations for individuals or teams who will advance onto consideration at the state level. We are so lucky to have these talented educators working in District 15. Good luck as you advance to the next level. Congratulations to:
