We want everyone to know that Rutherford County Schools is the premier provider of quality PreK–12 education. Part of that effort is recognizing the servant-leaders in our schools who give their best every day to help children reach their goals.
Our annual employee awards will continue this year. The program is known as The RCS Difference — Employee Awards, and twice each semester we will honor five employees, one from each of five employee categories.
We know there are many different types of employees who make our schools successful. We will recognize:
Transportation staff, such as bus aides, crossing guards, drivers or contractors;
School support staff, such as teacher aides, office workers, custodians and cafeteria workers;
Assistant principals or principals;
One teacher, which includes certified employees such as counselors or instructional coaches; and
One central office employee from any department, including maintenance.
Nominations will be accepted from parents, students and RCS employees. Our leadership team will then review the nominations and select honorees based on those submissions. We are looking for specific details in the nominations. For example, please don't say someone goes "above and beyond." Give us specific stories, examples or reasons.
We’d also like to thank the Sonic restaurant locations throughout Rutherford County for sponsoring these awards for the third year and providing gift cards to the winners.
