The State Board of Education (SBOE) is accepting nominations for the 2016 Student Heroes Award.
The Student Heroes awards program recognizes Texas public school students in pre-kindergarten through high school who do outstanding things to benefit their fellow Texas students.
SBOE Chairperson Donna Bahorich urged school leaders to nominate students who are shining examples of good character and citizenship for their communities.
“We have so many wonderful students who give so much of their time to benefit Texas students, schools and communities,” Bahorich said. “These unselfish acts of kindness should be spotlighted and recognized by all.”
One student per each of the 15 State Board of Education districts can be recognized for this annual honor. Anyone may nominate a public school student for the award.
Recipients of the Student Heroes Award will be announced in May. A certificate of recognition will be awarded to the Student Hero by his or her State Board of Education member.
The deadline for nominations is March 11.
Nomination forms and program guidelines are available at tea.texas.gov/About_TEA/News_and_Multimedia/Awards/Student_Heroes.
