The 2022-2023 School-Related Employees of the Year have been selected from each of the district’s schools, along with three district representatives. School-related employees enhance the educational experience for the children whose lives they touch, and they are essential to the successful operation of a school or school district office.
These nominees were chosen for the significant contributions they have made in their schools and community, and to the school district as a whole. Criteria for the award includes exemplary job performance, dedication on the job, interpersonal skills, leadership ability, and contributions to the school and school district environment.
A district-wide screening committee has reviewed all of the candidates and the winner of the St. Johns County School-Related Employee of the Year will be announced at a reception to honor all of the nominees on Wednesday, November 16 at Tocoi Creek High School. The St. Johns County nominee’s name will then be submitted to the state to compete at the state level.
