Each year, Rockwood recognizes its support staff members who demonstrate outstanding service to the district, including bus drivers, nurses, secretaries, custodians, computer support personnel, classroom assistants, Special School District teachers and all the other Rockwood employees who serve our students and staff every day.
This year, we received 85 Cornerstone nominations for 67 different support staff members. Now, a selection committee, led by Megan Griggs, Bob Schaeg and Amy Wehr, is in the process of carefully reviewing each nomination. Six winners will be announced the week of Nov. 14, and these recipients will be formally honored at the ROSE Awards on Sunday, May 7, at the DoubleTree Hotel in Chesterfield.
Congratulations to the 2023 Cornerstone Award nominees! Please scroll down to see some of the celebratory photos.
