Nominations for school district employees and volunteers accepted through May 1
Who is your champion in education? Eugene School District 4J has exceptional staff and volunteers who make a difference for students every day. Nominating a valued educator, leader, co-worker, or volunteer for the ACE Awards (A Champion in Education) is a wonderful way to honor the incredible talent and dedication of our amazing teachers, classified staff, administrators and volunteers.
One nominee in each category will be named the ACE Award champion and receive a $1,000 award for a project or program at their school. Every nominee will be recognized as an exceptional educator!
Submit your nomination(s) for the 12th annual ACE Awards by Tuesday, May 1. Nominations are accepted for four categories (teachers and licensed specialists, administrators and supervisors, classified staff, volunteers) and a special lifetime achievement award.

All nominees will be celebrated and champions will be announced at a reception and awards ceremony on Wednesday, May 23, 5:30–7 p.m., at Churchill High School. The event is free and open to the public.
In previous years a joint awards event has been held to celebrate educators from Springfield, Bethel and 4J, with support from the Eugene and Springfield Chambers of Commerce and title sponsor Oregon Community Credit Union. In a change this year, the multi-district event will no longer be held. The district is continuing the ACE Awards as a 4J program to honor our district’s exceptional professionals and volunteers, with continued support from Oregon Community Credit Union.
