During the third annual Indiana Educational Excellence Awards Gala, the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) awarded nearly $5 million to schools and educators across the state. This black-tie event celebrates and elevates the work of Indiana’s educators as they support student learning.
"The Educational Excellence Awards Gala is a celebration of the extraordinary impact our educators have on students and communities across Indiana," said Dr. Katie Jenner, Indiana Secretary of Education.
Ten outstanding educators were awarded $2,500 each for their commitment to areas such as professional growth, the use of technology in the classroom, and cultivating community partnerships.
Lifetime Educator Excellence Awards were presented to Ryan Rust with the Plymouth Community School Corporation and Deaneen Pashea, East Noble School Corporation.
This award recognizes educators with 16+ years of experience who demonstrate a commitment to their own professional growth and contribute to other educators' professional development.
Individual educator awards are funded through sponsorship.
