Superintendents of Distinction
The third annual IASA Superintendents of Distinction have been
selected by their regions and are pictured in the following pages.
The winners were selected by their peers based on the same
four criteria that are used in the AASA Superintendent of the Year
competition: leadership for learning, communication,
professionalism and community Involvement.
The winners will be honored April 24 at a luncheon in Springfield
along with honorees from the Illinois Principals Association. State
Superintendent Dr. Tony Smith will be in attendance as the
Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) helps to coordinate the
event.
The 2017 Superintendents of Distinction are considered
nominated for next fall’s Illinois Superintendent of the Year
competition should they choose to fill out that nomination form.
Others from around the state also may be nominated for that
statewide award.
The awards and the luncheon are being sponsored by Horace
Mann.
