We are accepting nominations for the Excellence in Education Awards. Nominations are open for Elementary and Secondary Teachers and Classified Employees and can be submitted by students, parents, administrators or fellow staff members from the nomination form below.  The deadline for nominations will be the last day of the month.

​

The Excellence in Education award recognizes the outstanding work by the staff in the district and schools. The Jerome School District Superintendent, along with a committee of representatives from each building, reviews nominations received by staff, parents, students and community members. Each month 1 elementary certified, 1 secondary certified, and 1 classified staff member is selected.

​

Guidelines for selection are:

• Recipients must be a current employee of the Jerome School District; for Certified Nominations: recipient must hold a valid Idaho teacher or pupil personnel certificate; for Classified Nominations: recipient must be employed in any non-certified position;

• Administrators are not eligible for this recognition;

• Students, parents, administrators, or fellow staff members may nominate the individual;

• The recognition is for those who go above and beyond in making a difference in the life of an individual student or lives of a group of students.

The Excellence in Education Award program began in 2016 and has recognized the district’s outstanding teachers and classified staff each month. The Jerome School District presents each recipient a plaque with a $50 gift card provided by Jiffy Lube/Burton Group at the monthly school board meetings.
