Oswego Community Unit School District 308 announced the April 2022 winners of the PRIDE (Proudly Recognizing Individuals Demonstrating Excellence) Recognition Program on Monday, April 25 at its Board of Education meeting. Prior to the meeting, Dr. Sparlin visited each winner at their school/building to announce and celebrate their recognition (slide show).
The Board of Education implemented this program in the fall of 2015 to recognize, promote and celebrate the many contributions made by teachers and employees across the district. This year, the district has an open nomination process in which anyone can nominate teachers and employees. To nominate an individual for consideration in the Board’s PRIDE recognition program, go to: www.sd308.org/PRIDENomination. The nomination period for the 2021-2022 school year will be closing on April 29, 2022.
“The individuals honored and recognized as PRIDE winners not only go above and beyond for our students and schools but they also reflect the true meaning of service,” said Dr. John Sparlin, superintendent of schools. “The board and I are honored to recognize our teachers and our employees through this program for all they do on a daily basis for the success of our students.”
