Do you know someone who has made the world better for GATE students and their families? If so, please nominate them for the Tri-County GATE Council We Honor Our Own (WHO) Award!

     Tri-County GATE Council solicits nominations for teachers, administrators, parents/guardians, and community members who have made outstanding contributions to the education of gifted students. 

     We welcome nominations from anyone, including parents/guardians, educational peers, and administrators. Please note that nominating someone does not automatically mean they will be recognized.

     The final nominees will be selected by the Tri-County GATE Council Recognition Committee. In addition to notifying the nominee of their recognition, we will also notify the persons listed on the nomination form and the county superintendent’s office. We may also send out press releases, post the recognition on social media, as well as on our website.
