2021 Education Awards
Congratulations to all of the 2021 Education Award winners!
KPC Media Group and the Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly held open nominations for these awards in 14 different categories. We received dozens of nominations from all over Northeast Indiana. After hours of deliberation, we narrowed down our pool of nominees to just 14 teachers, principals, professors and counselors.
We are excited to introduce these winners to you as they discuss the challenges and rewards of an often thankless job. Links to the special commemorative section, next year's nominations, and other upcoming KPC events can be found below.
