Spirit of the ESD Awards

It’s that time of year again…

Every year, ESD 112 honors an individual or group who exemplifies the best there is in all of us: going above and beyond duties and responsibilities with a “Yes! I can do it!” attitude; working with high personal standards and technical knowledge; and contributing to the positive morale at the ESD. Do you know someone or a group that resembles these qualities? If so, please send in your nominations for the Spirit of ESD Award by May 21, 2026. Winners will be announced at our End of the Year Staff Meeting.

Entry Guidelines

  • Nominations for 2026 are accepted now through May 21, 2026. Nominations received after that date will be considered for the following year.
  • Please coordinate with your coworkers to submit just one nomination per nominee.
  • Nominees must have worked at ESD 112 for at least one full year.
  • Current members of ESD Connects can be nominated, but are ineligible for the award.
  • All nominations are approved by management before moving forward.

FAQ

Can I nominate a team or group, or does it have to be a single person?

YES! You can still nominate a group. Simply type the group or team name into the nomination box as you would like to word it.

Can a team share nomination duties?

YES! If you will be sharing who fills out what, we recommend you designate one person to fill out the online form, and collect your answers offline first. Collecting answers offline is really best practice anyway, so you don’t lose your work if your internet hiccups.

What is the definition of “main campus staff” in this day and age?

“Main campus staff” are those who worked on (or would have worked on) the main campus prior to the pandemic, as opposed to those who work out of a district, off-site facility or field office.

When I visit the Spirit of ESD Intranet page, there is a box asking me to login. What is that?

The Spirit of ESD form uses an app called Microsoft PowerApps. Sometimes it will ask your permission to load. Simply login with your normal ESD credentials.
