Employee of the Year

Annually, the Morrisville-Eaton Board of Education selects one instructional employee , and one non-instructional employee of the Morrisville-Eaton Central School District to receive the Employee of the Year Award. District residents, employees and students are encouraged to nominate any district employee for this award.

The Board of Education reviews the nominations and selects the recipient. The deadline for applications is the end of March. For more information or to obtain a copy of the nomination form, please call Cathy at 315-684-9300.

The Employee of the Year Award recipients are listed on a plaque located at both the Elementary and Middle/High School. From 1984-2007 the district acknowledged one employee of the year. In 2007-2008 it was decided that splitting into two categories would provide the opportunity to honor twice as many people. Morrisville-Eaton is a learning community in which all the staff play a key role in the success of our students, and the dual recognition provides an opportunity to celebrate that fact.
