Celebrating Public Education in Michigan!
In 1994, MASB decided that Michigan's school districts needed help creating public awareness of the great things happening in classrooms across the state. Central to this goal was the desire to provide a vehicle for telling the good news and for strengthening confidence in public education.
In 2000, MASB invited SET SEG School Insurance Specialists to partner in celebrating school excellence. With SET SEG's exclusive sponsorship and generous financial support, MASB has signficantly enhanced the annual Education Excellence Awards Program.
The Education Excellence Award program recognizes original, innovative programs in various categories that positively affect student achievement in local and intermediate school districts.
From the hundreds of programs entered in several program categories, judges select the top three programs in each category for the Education Excellence Award. Winners receive trophies, media recognition and street signs to post outside their school proclaiming them a Winner—Education Excellence Award. Those winners move on to the final phase of judging and the top program is awarded the prestigious Michigan's Best Award. This three-part recognition includes a presence at MASB's Annual Fall Conference; a check for $1,500 to enhance and maintain the program; and an elegant trophy symbolizing high honor.
In the first phase of judging, the top three programs in each category will be selected for Education Excellence awards. Honorees will receive trophies, media recognition and metal street signs to post outside their school proclaiming them a Winner 2011 Education Excellence Award.
In phase two, Education Excellence winners will be judged for best in category. The programs selected will receive MASB's highest honor, the Michigan's Best Award. These will be presented at MASB's 2011 Annual Fall Conference. Michigan's Best winners receive a cash award of $1,500, thanks to the generosity of SET SEG School Insurance Specialists, which continues to pledge sponsorship funds to support this important program.
