by Bob Montgomery

As Education Week approaches, District 8 of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation and the Avon Maitland District School Board are happy to announce this years’ recipients of the Excellence in Public Education Awards.

District 8 Secondary Teacher President Maureen Matchett explains the awards celebrate student achievement and teaching excellence. Award recipients include secondary students, secondary teachers, support staff members, community members, and two especially-excellent elementary students.

“It's important to recognize the examples of excellence in all areas of public education in Avon Maitland. Whether it is the student who has enriched the atmosphere of the school, the staff person who has encouraged excellence through their contributions to their school, or the community member who has improved the school environment, they all help make everyone’s educational experience a positive one.”

They invite the Huron and Perth communities to celebrate the accomplishments of these outstanding individuals with them. A complete list of award recipients can be found on the Excellence in Public Education 2024 page on the AMDSB website.
