Core Beliefs
Founded in 2005, the Atlanta Families’ Awards for Excellence in Education recognizes and honors outstanding educators in a manner that informs and engages the community.
We believe…
- Every child has a right to an excellent education regardless of socio-economic status
or other factors outside of their control. - Excellent public education is critical to the success of Atlanta, the nation and the world.
- School leader and teacher quality is integral to student success.
- School leaders and teachers are largely unappreciated for their persistent,
excellent efforts and achievements. - The ultimate quality of Atlanta education will only be as good as the public demands.
We seek to raise public awareness of great learning happening in APS.
