STALEY SOAR AWARD
The faculty and staff at Staley High School are committed to ensuring the overall success of our students and they are the reason our students are so successful here at SHS. We would like to recognize them for all they do for our students and for our entire school community. That is why we have created the SOAR award to be presented to nominated and winning employees each month. Both certified and classified employees can be nominated for the monthly SOAR award.
Anyone can nominate a member of the Staley team for this award by filling out the form below. The form is quick and easy! It asks for you to share how your nominee demonstrates Staley’s core values of Service, Ownership, Achievement and Respect while positively impacting our students and community. You can also share how the nominee supports the goals and mission of Staley High School and the North Kansas City Schools District.
Please take a moment when you are so moved to do so and recognize a Staley employee! SOAR award nominees and winners will be recognized monthly.
