Pasadena ISD is accepting nominations for the Pasadena ISD's Distinguished Citizen Award for 2014. The award is given annually to a local resident or business person who has demonstrated a strong commitment to the causes of education and youth-related activities in communities served by the Pasadena ISD.
Nominees must demonstrate a commitment to the educational, social, spiritual and personal growth of the young people of our community through volunteer efforts in Pasadena schools or any youth-related organization. They must also live or work within the boundaries of the school district.
The Distinguished Citizen Award will be presented at a special reception in the fall. A bronze plaque will be dedicated at the reception and placed at the front entrance to the Administration Building.
Those wishing to submit a nomination should return a completed form along with any supporting documentation such as newspaper clippings or resumes, by August 11.
