Great schools require the coordinated efforts of dedicated individuals serving in diverse roles to provide opportunities for students. In an effort to acknowledges the efforts of individuals who work tirelessly in service of their school communities, CASDA has combined our Annual Education Awards and Friends of Education Awards into one large celebration!

We are currently seeking nominations for our Principal of the Year, Excellence in District Administrative Leadership, and Excellence in School Board Service awards. Visit www.casdany.org/annual-awards to find links to nomination forms for each award. The deadline to nominate is March 8.

We are also now accepting submissions for our Friends of Education Awards. Any nominee named by a superintendent of a CASDA member district will receive the award this year. To nominate online, visit www.casdany.org/friends-nomination by March 8.

Students and Teachers Who Make a Difference Celebration

May 26, 2022

Franklin Terrace Ballroom, Troy, NY

Since 1987, CASDA and its community partners have hosted this program (formerly Scholars Recognition Awards) to honor the outstanding graduating seniors from high schools throughout the region. Recognized students are chosen by their schools on the basis of academic achievements, community service and leadership to their schools or communities, or other unique accomplishments. Each nominated student then selects a teacher who has had a significant influence on their education.

Stay tuned for more details coming soon!
