The Rockdale County Public Schools Foundation is seeking nominees from the community for its 2016 Champion of Education awards. Recipients will be honored during the Foundation’s spring gala on Saturday, April 23, at the Acuity People Center in Conyers.

Champion of Education nominees can be either individuals or businesses that have demonstrated outstanding service, support or advocacy to further public education in Rockdale County.

“We understand and embrace the importance of acknowledging those men, women and businesses that pour their heart into supporting public education in Rockdale,’ said Linda Owen, Foundation co-president and gala chair. “The gala gives us an opportunity to recognize them publicly and to say thanks for being an education champion for all our students.”

The Rockdale County Public Schools Foundation has provided more than $450,000 in funding for teacher grants and student achievement initiatives since 1988. The tax-exempt, nonprofit works in close partnership with the school system and is governed by a Board of Trustees.
