Our Excellence is Earned employee recognition program launched in March of 2024 by inviting our 37 teacher SEAF mini-grant winners to nominate another USD 345 employee for their commitment to excellence. Each Excellence is Earned nominee is then invited to nominate another staff member for their commitment to excellence. Below are the USD 345 employees who have been recognized by their peers!
