Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild founder William Strickland will receive the Consortium’s Special Tribute for his lifetime contributions to education at this year’s Champions of Learning Awards celebration. United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania, our partner in the awards, also plans to announce a Special Tribute at the presentation ceremony on May 2. 
The awards ceremony will honor individuals who have gone above and beyond to support youth in our region, whether in their professional lives or as volunteers. Awards will be presented to winners in six categories: Community Partners & Providers; Educators, K-6; Educators, 7-12; Leadership; School Staff; and Volunteers.
Earlier in the year, we announced three finalists in each category. The deadline for making reservations to attend the awards ceremony is April 19. Tickets can be ordered online via Eventbrite.
