New this year, the President’s Award will be presented annually in recognition of outstanding work done in areas of primary focus during the school year that enable NAF and our network to deliver on the NAF mission of solving some of the greatest challenges facing education and the economy by bringing business, education, and community leaders together to transform the high school experience.
The 2015-16 President’s Award is aligned with NAF’s district engagement strategy and recognizes exemplary district-wide commitment to using the NAF educational design to prepare students to be college, career, and future ready and comes with a $5,000 award to your district in recognition of your work and to continue to support these efforts. Porterville Unified School District has exemplified significant strategic commitment and investment to NAF academies and the pathways model, a high degree of commitment to student enrollment goals, strong demonstration of quality and fidelity to the NAF design, and outstanding leadership capacity within the network.
