Many Brainerd Public School employees go above and beyond assigned job expectations every day to ensure students receive a high-quality education in a safe and positive learning environment.

The Brainerd Public Schools Above and Beyond Award is intended to annually recognize employees who demonstrate a positive attitude that inspires others and consistently go above and beyond expectations to help students succeed.

Eligibility: All employees, full- or part-time, are eligible for this award regardless of their job classification or other awards received.

Nominations: A student, parent, staff member, or community member can nominate an employee. Nominations can be completed online and submitted electronically or completed by hand and mailed in. Submit an electronic nomination here. 

The selection process will involve a committee, composed of district staff and administrators, that will review nominations and make recommendations.

Each winner will receive an award at the district-wide Back-to-School Celebration.
