Winners Announced: 2024 District Administration National Awards Program
District Administration Leadership Institute today announced the winners of its prestigious 2024 National Awards Program, recognizing outstanding districts, leaders, and women in education across six key categories.
At the heart of Districts of Distinction Awards is the belief that remarkable, home-grown programs can inspire and be replicated by educators nationwide by searching for pioneering initiatives that have made a significant impact on student achievement, engagement, and overall educational excellence. By sharing these successful models, we empower educators to build similar programs in their districts, fostering positive change in education across the country.
Desert Sands Unified School District is proud to share with our community that Superintendent Kelly May-Vollmar, Ed.D. was awarded a Women of Distinction Award for her work on behalf of our students. She joins four other women from across the nation. The announcement of the award included the following statement:
"This award recognizes women who have exhibited exceptional leadership skills in the education field, inspiring and empowering others to achieve their full potential, resulting in improved student outcomes, increased graduation rates, or enhanced educational opportunities."
Congratulations to Superintendent May-Vollmar!
