This award continues to be one of the most prestigious and respected awards for non-administrative staff, students, and volunteers statewide. It is inspired by Fred Shea, subject of Mark Sanborn’s national bestseller, The Fred Factor.

The award recognizes individuals whose extraordinary efforts on a daily basis contribute to create a positive atmosphere in Kentucky’s school communities. The first Fred Award was presented in 2008 to Mr. Fred Strange, a custodian at Grants Lick Elementary School in Campbell County.

Chosen by a statewide judging panel representing school districts across the commonwealth, the finalists will be recognized at a special ceremony Friday, July 15, during KASA’s Annual Summer Institute, the premier event statewide for P-12 school administrators.  Finalists will receive $250 each to present to the school program of their choice, overnight lodging at the Galt House Hotel & Suites, and a distinguished marble plaque detailing the award.  The winner will receive $500.
