Celebrating Stars

NOMINATIONS

February 23, 2012

We are highlighting our West Virginia Career and Technical Education stars at a special gala during the July 2012 Summer Conference. The best-of-our-best will stroll along the red carpet onto the illuminated stage through the sounds of thunderous applause. Each of our CTE stars in each category will receive a trophy, photo ops, and a $5,000 grant for the school. Runners-up will receive $1,000 grants. Nominees are being accepted for the following Celebrating Stars categories:

  • School with Most Outstanding Business and Industry Involvement
  • School with Most Outstanding Community Service and Involvement
  • Best Performing Concentration in a School
  • Best New Teacher (1-3 years)
  • Best Teacher Leader (New!)
  • Best Veteran Teacher (4+ years)
  • Best Support Staff
  • Best Academic Partnership
  • Best Career and Technical Facility (includes Comprehensive High Schools)

Any CTE administrator, teacher, or staff member can submit a nomination form by March 15 to my office. A panel of judges, outside of the CTE community, will select the top three nominations for each category by April 1. These three nominees will submit a one minute video presentation by June 1. The nomination forms and video will determine the award winner for each category.

West Virginia has a many career and technical star programs and people providing sparkling opportunities for student, staff, business/industry, and community success. Take action today and submit your nomination. We look forward to receiving your CTE Star nominations. See you at the gala!

Sincerely,

Kathy D’Antoni, Ed. D.
