Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools has named the finalists for the 2022 Core Awards. This will be the fifth annual ceremony honoring employees who are considered exceptional educators and live the district’s Core Values. The Core Values are: equity, student-centered, accountability, integrity, high expectations, and collaboration.

The categories include Principal of the Year, Assistant Principal of the Year, Teacher of the Year, Classified Employee of the Year, and Certified Instructional Support Person of the Year. This year, the Judy Mountjoy Volunteer of the Year Award will also be included in the Core Awards.
