Superintendents of Distinction

Saluting this year’s award winners

The third annual IASA Superintendents of Distinction have been selected by their regions and are pictured in the following pages. The winners were selected by their peers based on the same four criteria that are used in the AASA Superintendent of the Year competition: leadership for learning, communication, professionalism and community Involvement. The winners will be honored April 24 at a luncheon in Springfield along with honorees from the Illinois Principals Association. State Superintendent Dr. Tony Smith will be in attendance as the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) helps to coordinate the event. The 2017 Superintendents of Distinction are considered nominated for next fall’s Illinois Superintendent of the Year competition should they choose to fill out that nomination form. Others from around the state also may be nominated for that statewide award.

The awards and the luncheon are being sponsored by Horace Mann.
