Nassau BOCES recognizes individuals for profound impact on education

Elmont Memorial High School student Tiffany Wong is one of 11 individuals who will be honored along with three organizations who have had profound effects on public education in Nassau County at the Nassau BOCES Education Partner Awards Gala.

The Nassau BOCES Education Partner Awards program pays tribute to outstanding educational leaders, organizations, school administrators and staff, students, teachers, Nassau BOCES employees and other champions of education.

This year’s honorees will be recognized on May 7 during the 17th annual Nassau BOCES Education Partner Awards Gala, hosted by the Nassau BOCES Educational Foundation.

The Foundation is an independent, community-based organization devoted to enhancing educational opportunities for students who take part in Nassau BOCES schools, services or programs. It supports initiatives that are beyond the scope of the agency's budget.

During the past 17 years, over 211 individuals and organizations have been honored with the Nassau BOCES Education Partner Award, which recognizes those who have made a substantial impact on public education in Nassau County. A strategic education partner with local school districts since 1967, Nassau BOCES created the award to pay tribute to those who share its commitment to enabling students of all ages and abilities to achieve their maximum potential.
