Launched in 2018, the awards honour public, independent and First Nations school teachers, support staff, principals, and vice-principals, as well as school and district leaders, who all go above and beyond to make life better for K-12 students throughout the province.

Two teachers earned a nod in the community engagement category: retired Reynolds secondary teacher Heather Coey and Vanessa White, the district principal for safe and healthy schools in the Sooke School District (SD62).

In the outstanding support – teacher assistant category district inclusion assistant Jolene Parsons at David Cameron Elementary earned the nod.

Retiring SD62 superintendent Scott Stinson was named for district leadership and in school leadership, Angela McLeish, vice principal at St. Patrick’s Elementary in Victoria earned an award.

Nominated by the public and their peers, the five are among 34 education professionals from B.C. to earn awards this year.

Each recipient received a $2,000 personal bursary for professional learning, a $1,000 contribution to their school for professional learning and a commemorative trophy during a ceremony at Government House in Victoria on Oct. 26.
