Each year, thousands of elementary, middle, and high schools participate in the President's Education Awards Program by recognizing deserving, eligible students.

MOTIVATE them. REWARD them. HONOR them.

This Program Honors Student Achievement

As a principal, you aspire to make a difference in the accomplishments and success of your students. Through the President's Education Awards Program, you can honor both student achievement and hard work with the Nation's most prestigious awards for individual recognition from the President and the U.S. Secretary of Education. This program gives you the opportunity to be the catalyst that sets your students on an upward path.

Unlike other awards programs, the principal plays a leading role and has sole discretion in choosing recipients. Reward them, and you can encourage your students to set high goals and meet the challenges of reaching beyond their limits. Teach them the value of persistence. And perhaps, inspire a lifelong passion for learning.
