Every year since 2013, the Black Gold School Division Board of Trustees has presented the Inspiring Success Award of Distinction to honour employees who have:

  • Made a notable, significant and positive contribution to the Division
  • Demonstrated leadership that has had an identifiable impact, and has made a significant difference to public education in the Black Gold community
  • Inspired Success in students and/or staff through our stated values of Student-Centred Learning, Relationships, Safe and Supportive Environment, Passion, and Responsible Resource Management

Staff are nominated by their peers and colleagues, the Awards Committee reviews the nominations and selects the recipient, then the Board presents the award at the Division-wide Staff Welcome Back event held in September.

“We are delighted to showcase the exceptional nominees for this year,” said Board Chair Esther Eckert. “We had seven outstanding individuals who have inspired remarkable success, not only for themselves but also for those around them. Each of the seven nominees is a winner for demonstrating a dedication to inspire success and setting a high standard for themselves and their peers.”
