This award honors a nurse who consistently goes above and beyond role expectations, responds to challenging situations with professionalism and compassion, and advocates tirelessly for students, staff, and the broader school community.

How to nominate
Please submit a brief nomination describing the nurse’s impact and specific examples of their contributions. Perfection isn’t required—your authentic perspective matters most.
