Two Fond du Lac County students are among 46 private school winners through the Herb Kohl Educational Foundation. The Foundation has announced the winners of $192,000 in Principal, Teacher, and Student awards to WCRIS schools. St. Mary’s Springs student Luke Holzmann and Waupun Central Wisconsin Christian High School student Serena Pritchard are two of 14 Student Excellence award winners. The winners each receive $3000 for their schools. For the first time this year, four principals will receive $3,000 each and another $3,000 for his/her school, from a new Excellence in School Leadership Award. Annually, WCRIS works with the Kohl Foundation to collect teacher nominations, distribute and collect applications, and assist with the selection committee process. Award winners are notified individually by the Foundation. They will also be recognized at regional receptions in April. Senator Herb Kohl attends each ceremony along with WCRIS Board members and staff.
