Staff Recognition

Celebrate the People Making Difference

Every day, Rockford Area Schools staff go above and beyond to inspire, support, and impact students. Whether it’s a teacher creating engaging learning experiences, a paraprofessional offering encouragement, a custodian keeping our schools welcoming, or a staff member making someone’s day brighter – we want to hear about it.

The Rockford Education Foundation is proud to recognize the outstanding individuals who help make our schools exceptional.
