Valuable Newport News Public Schools employees who are integral to student success received awards for their daily impact on the school division.
An honoree from each school and one from each of seven administrative departments was recognized at the school division's Exemplary Support Staff of the Year banquet on May 29 at the Marriott at City Center.
"Your presence here today is a testament to your commitment and work ethic," Newport News School Board member Douglas Brown said, as he welcomed attendees.
"There were hundreds of nominations across the school division for this recognition. I commend you for being selected as your worksite's Exemplary Support Staff person of the year."
Employees stood out for their personal touch with students and families, dedication to serving their school and worksite communities, and support for their co-workers.
"Like me, you chose public education as your career," said Acting Chief Schools Officer Dr. Wayne Smith.
"And from what I have heard this evening, this is truly a room full of givers, mentors and go-getters. Thank you for making a difference."
