R.E.B. Awards for Distinguished Educational Leadership

The R.E.B. Awards for Distinguished Leadership seek to recognize principals who go beyond the day-to-day demands of their position to create an exceptional educational environment. Four principals are publicly recognized, one in each school district of the metropolitan area (i.e. the counties of Chesterfield, Hanover, Henrico and the City of Richmond). Each first place award consists of a $7,500 cash grant to the principal and an additional $7,500 for school projects chosen by the principal.

Recognition of excellence is an integral part of the Foundation’s mission. In conjunction with this focus the board provides an additional professional development grant of $2500 for the staff of the semi-finalist candidate in Henrico County.

Nominees must be principals who:

1. Manage effectively to promote excellence in education
2. Demonstrate leadership and exemplify commitment
3. Inspire their students and are advocates for their school and faculty
4. Encourage team spirit
5. Foster cooperation between the school and the community
6. Maintain dialogue with students, parents, faculty and staff
7. Have been a principal of their school for at least 3 years

Nominations may be submitted from the school community and from the public at-large. Nominations should be addressed to:
