Exemplary educational programs that go above and beyond meeting the needs of students in elementary and middle level schools across the state are recognized annually through the OAESA Hall of Fame School Recognition Program. This award has been distributed since 1984.
Honorees are selected by
their colleagues for achievements above and
beyond those expected in the usual school
program. The criterion for the selection of
the OAESA Distinguished Principal has been
set by OAESA, NAESP, and the United States
Department of Education. OAESA has been
recognizing Ohio's outstanding
administrators since 1984.
