To recognize unsung educators across the state

ATLANTA, GA, USA, October 2, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Georgia Leadership Institute (GLISI), a local nonprofit organization that develops school leaders state-wide, announces the launch of its fourth annual Hidden Heroes campaign.

With the launch of Hidden Heroes, GLISI aims to recognize unsung educators whose commitment to the students and communities they serve often goes unnoticed. Nominations are open to the public and the top three educators in each of three regions across the state will be presented with cash prizes.

"The airwaves are too full of what’s wrong in education. The return of Hidden Heroes inspires me because it amplifies what’s going right - and things are going right in so many places,” said Leslie Hazle Bussey, Executive Director of GLISI. “Educators across our state get up every day and demonstrate leadership, innovation, and create cultures of excellence for students of every age. This is a chance for those stories to get lifted up and amplified across communities.”

Nominations are open to the public. Nominees may be teachers, principals, bus drivers, custodians, nutrition staff, or any school staff member who has demonstrated a passion for serving young people. Winners will be selected by online vote and nominators of winning educators will also receive a cash prize. Individuals can submit a nomination through the Hidden Hero website glisi.me/hiddenheroes2023 through October 31.

Born during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to recognize and uplift the state’s unsung heroes, the Hidden Heroes campaign has grown every year with more than 40,000 votes cast last year. For more information about GLISI visit GLISI.org and to nominate a Hidden Hero visit glisi.me/hiddenheroes2023.
