Hickory Public Schools proudly announces the first quarter and first-ever, recipients of the Making a Difference Award, a special recognition program designed to celebrate outstanding educators and staff who go above and beyond in making a positive impact within our school district.
The Making a Difference Award is open to all Hickory Public Schools employees, including teachers, support staff, custodians, bus drivers, administrators, secretaries, substitute teachers, counselors, food service workers, and more. Nominations are accepted quarterly.
This quarter, we are thrilled to recognize the outstanding contributions of ten exceptional individuals from each building within the Hickory Public Schools system who have made a significant impact on the lives of others.
"We are excited to acknowledge and celebrate the exceptional efforts of our Quarter 1 awardees, whose dedication and passion have already left an indelible mark on our students and community," said Dr. Jennifer Griffin, Hickory Public Schools Superintendent. "Their commitment to making a positive difference sets a shining example for all of us."
All winners received a Making a Difference pin, a Making a Difference Award certificate, and two baseball game vouchers, thanks to our sponsors at the Hickory Crawdads. Relatives were invited to come to surprise our honorees.
