Georgia Parent Leadership Awards

The 2019 Parent Leadership Awards are sponsored by the Georgia Department of Education and the Georgia Parent Teacher Association. GaDOE and GA PTA established this award to recognize parents across Georgia who utilize their skills and talents to strengthen our schools and positively impact students’ lives. The award also aims to inspire all parents to use their unique talents to lead the way in building positive outcomes for all children.

Please consider nominating an outstanding parent from your school to receive the award. Completed nomination packets must be sent via email by March 8, 2019 to krbaker@doe.k12.ga.us.

Parents from all schools (Title I and non-Title I) are eligible to receive the award. Each nominee must:

  • Be a parent, which includes any caregiver who assumes the responsibility for nurturing and caring for a child’s entire well-being consisting of educational, emotional, spiritual, and physical health
  • Be nominated by a Georgia public school where at least one of their children currently attends
  • Not be an employee of the Georgia public school system (which includes anyone who is paid by a school or a school system with the exception of substitute teachers) or the GaDOE, or a member of the GA PTA Board of Directors
  • Not be a previous award winner

Should you have any questions, please contact Kristen Baker at krbaker@doe.k12.ga.us.
