Celebrating Excellence Awards

Each year, district and building leaders honor individuals throughout the district for the amazing work they do for the district and its mission of connecting, learning, and leading.

These individuals are nominated by their peers, and the Maize Education Foundation is proud to join the district in recognizing these individuals by presenting each winner with a $50 award as a way to thank them for their dedication to helping Maize students succeed.

MEF awarded $1,850 in the 2023-2024 school year to honor the 37 winners of the Celebrating Excellence Awards, recognizing Educators, Paraeducators, and Support Staff.

Thank you to all of our amazing and dedicated staff!
