Who’s changing lives at Triangle K-12 schools? Nominate your education superheroes
There are countless unsung school heroes who help ensure that North Carolina’s 1.7 million students get the education that they’ll need.
We want your help to honor those unsung heroes in the Triangle area. We’re looking for public, charter and private school employees or volunteers in Chatham, Durham, Johnston, Orange and Wake counties.
Here’s how it will work
We want you — current and former students, parents, school staffers and residents — to nominate someone who had or is having an impact on you and your educational experience. Maybe it’s an elementary teacher who taught you an important lesson. Or a school resource officer who made an impression on your life. Or the person directing traffic at your school who always has a smile on their face. Whoever it is in your community, we want to hear about them.
To nominate your person, fill out the form below or at https://bit.ly/3p4ILTt and tell us why you think they deserve to be named an unsung Superhero in Education.
What comes next
Once we receive submissions, we’ll select nominees from our K-12 school communities to start off the voting.
Once we have the nominees next week, we’ll ask everyone to vote. You’ll do that through a poll on our website. The top vote-getters will move onto the next round. Look for the voting next week. As we get closer to the final stages, we will write about or post videos on the nominees selected.
We’ll conduct a final poll to pick this year’s winner as the traditional school year ends.
Everyone should be honored
Please understand, we recognize and know that every person who makes lives better for students should be highlighted. Our intention is not to cause any negative feelings among those who may not be selected.
We are hoping this effort showcases individuals who are making a difference in their community and allows us to introduce these superheros to our readers in a fun and engaging way. We look forward to hearing from you!
