WASHINGTON, D.C. — A Sedgwick elementary school principal has won a national award.
U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel A. Cardona on Wednesday announced the recipients of the Terrel H. Bell Award for Outstanding School Leadership for 2022.
Principal Julie Scott from R.L. Wright Elementary School in Sedgwick is among the awardees.
Named for the second U.S. secretary of education, Terrel H. Bell, the Bell Award honors school leaders who are committed to education as a powerful and liberating force in people’s lives. The award is part of the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program. Principals are nominated by their school communities during the final stages of the National Blue Ribbon Schools application process.
The U.S. Department of Education, together with the National Association of Elementary School Principals, the Association for Middle Level Education, and the National Association of Secondary School Principals, present the Bell Awards to principals of National Blue Ribbon Schools for their outstanding work and the vital role they play in guiding their students and schools to excellence, frequently under challenging circumstances.
All nine school leaders from the 2022 cohort of National Blue Ribbon Schools will be honored during the National Blue Ribbon Schools awards ceremony Nov. 3 in Washington.
