Superintendent’s Awards of Excellence

The Superintendent’s Awards of Excellence are one component of the overall Employee Recognition Program approved by the Board in June, 2008. Former Superintendent Carole Olsen wanted to enhance the Board’s recognition efforts by ensuring employees were acknowledged, not only when they retired, but also throughout their years of employment with the Board. In 2008, the Milestone Awards were launched; in 2009, the Long Service Milestone Awards were established; and finally, the Awards of Excellence Program in 2010. Employees are invited to nominate fellow employees who are demonstrating excellence in supporting schools and students; thereby furthering the vision that “every student can learn and every school will improve.”

Nominations are accepted in the following three categories:

Award of Excellence in Teaching
Excellent Support Staff Award
Excellence in Leadership Award

Every day we see excellent examples of how our leaders, our teachers and those who support education are making a difference in student learning. These awards honor exceptional contributions to education and are open to all employees of the Halifax Regional School Board.   If you know of someone who would be a good candidate for these awards, you are encouraged to put their name forward. 

Check out the criteria and nomination forms in MyHRSB under Document Depot or pick them up from a Director or Principal. If you require more information about your nomination, please contact Margaret Berringer at 464-2000 Ext. 2215 or e-mail mberringer@hrsb.ns.ca

Finalists will be selected by the Superintendent and a panel of community leaders in April 2013 and honored at an awards celebration in August 2013. All nominations will be acknowledged by the Superintendent with a special nomination award.
