Welcome to the
ABC Awards
Applauding Brevard’s Champions
We are delighted to celebrate Brevard County’s educators, administrators, support personnel, volunteers and community supporters who have risen to the top with their contributions and dedication to our students. We couldn’t continue to grow and excel as a school district without these everyday heroes. Preparing children for the future is an extraordinarily challenging pursuit that requires patience, perseverance and passion. Each of tonight’s honorees exemplifies these characteristics and more. They contribute to a culture of excellence in Brevard Public Schools and the entire community.
The ABC Awards (Applauding Brevard’s Champions) publicly recognizes Brevard Public Schools’ exceptional employees, volunteers and partners, who through their special efforts help students make the most of their education for the prospects that lie ahead. We are truly inspired by these champions. Whether their influence resides at their school, their department or throughout the district, they each deserve our applause for their accomplishments.
Over 300 nominations were cast for the awards and special recognitions being presented tonight. Each nomination reflects the high standards expected in a community with a proud tradition of high performance in its public schools. From this group, finalists and winners were selected by committees to represent Brevard Public Schools as Administrators of the Year, Volunteers of the Year, Philanthropic Champions, Rookie Teacher of the Year, Emerging Teacher of the Year, Employee of the Year and Teacher of the Year.
Brevard Schools Foundation in partnership with Brevard Public Schools is proud to host the 10th Annual ABC Awards. This event would not be possible without the generosity of our sponsors and we extend our deepest appreciation to them for their support. These are the businesses, organizations and individuals that share our interest in advancing student achievement and continue to invest in young minds throughout the year to support our schools and provide for our students.
As we present the 10th Annual ABC Awards, Applauding Brevard’s Champions, we salute you.
