Every quarter, the VIP Awards will highlight employees in four job categories. The selection categories and nomination months include the following:

Employees are able to nominate one colleague per award cycle. Nominations may be submitted by any individual employed within our school division. If you know someone who stands out for their vision, integrity, and passion at ACPS, nominate them by using the VIP Awards nomination form. Nominations for the transportation, nutrition services and building engineers are now open through Oct. 14, 2022.

Award winners will be honored at their worksite, receive a special ACPS gift and be personally invited to the following week's School Board meeting where they will be publicly recognized and announced as VIP Awards winners to the school division.
