Nominations Open for 2025 Friends of Education Awards

The NLPS Board of Trustees is now accepting nominations for its 2025 Friends of Education Awards.

"We are grateful for the support our schools receive from our communities that allows us to enhance the opportunities and experiences available for our students," said Board Chair Karen Packard. "The Friends of Education Award is one way we can recognize the individuals, organizations, and business who work with us to help every student learn and excel."

The Friends of Education Awards were introduced in 2010 to recognize individuals and organizations that make special contributions to education in Northern Lights Public Schools, either at more than one school or for a significant time frame. Every year, the Board of Trustees asks staff, students, parents and the public to nominate people they feel are deserving of the award. A committee reviews the nominations and chooses at least three recipients to receive recognition.

Nominations can be submitted online on our Friends of Education Award page. The deadline to submit a nomination is June 15th.

This is the 15th year the awards will be presented.

Profiles of previous award winners are available on our website: Friends of Education Award Recipients.
