  10. Social Justice Award “In Education, the Social Justice award went to the Holland Public Schools VR Tech School. During its first year the school expected about 60 students to participate but more than double the number of students enrolled. This educational program is a true example of social justice, as it has encouraged many students who had fallen behind to catch up on their school credits and others who have dropped out to return and work on their diploma.” *Taken from www.cityofholland.org

  11. Michigan Association of School Administrators Winners Circle Award The goal of the Winners’ Circle is to give recognition to members whose leadership has launched or adapted an effective program or practice, that achieves results, and that could be replicated in other districts.
