Each year, the Utah Association of Elementary School Principals (UAESP) gives the Jordan Association of Elementary School Principals (JAESP) the opportunity to celebrate elementary principals for the great work they are doing in their schools. Principals may be nominated for awards in the following categories:
- Rookie of the Year
- Innovator of the Year
- Community Leader of the Year
- Student Advocate Principal of the Year
- Instructional Leader of the Year
- Principal Mentor of the Year
Recipients of the National Distinguished Principal of the Year and Assistant Principal of the Year have already been chosen and will be recognized soon.
If you feel that a principal has done exceptional work in one of these areas, we invite you to nominate them for an award through this survey.
All nominations are due Feb. 10, 2023. Please remember this is for elementary principals only. The following principals are ineligible to be nominated, because they have received an award during the last three school years:
Garett York, Theresa Christensen, Tiffany Smith, Ross Menlove, Megan Cox, Cherie Wilson, Odette Desmarais, Buddy Alger, Shauna Worthington, Courtney Titus, Bobbie Nixon, Jennifer Ludlow, Ann Pessetto, Laurie Goodsell, Suzie Williams, Ken Westwood, Aaron Ichimura, Amanda Edwards, Nick Hansen, Joel Pullan, Ronna Hoffman
After all nominations have been received, the JAESP board will present the awards to each recipient at their own school. Recipients will then be eligible for state level awards in the same category through UAESP.
Thank you for taking time to nominate exceptional elementary principals!
