Ethel Percy Andrus Legacy Award for Innovation

17 September, 2007 (09:11) | Legislative Update

Entry Deadline is October 1, 2007
AARP is pleased to announce the creation of The Ethel Percy Andrus Legacy Award for Innovation. A $10,000 prize will be awarded to one public secondary school (grades 8 - 12) in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands in recognition of an innovative program or practice currently operating in a school. Secondary high school principals may submit a brief description of a program or practice that has enhanced student achievement or contributed to an improved environment for the students, the school, or the community served by the school. One public high school from each state will receive a $10,000 award. This awards program has been established as part of AARP’s 50th anniversary celebration. To learn more about the life of Ethel Percy Andrus, download a short biography of this woman’s remarkable life (47K in PDF format, free Adobe Reader required).

The award was developed to honor AARP’s founder, Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus. Prior to founding AARP, Dr. Andrus achieved broad recognition as a creative and innovative public high school educator in the state of California. Dr. Andrus was the first woman appointed to lead a public secondary high school in California and in that position developed and implemented a host of innovative programs that served the interest of her students and the community.
We invite all public secondary school principals with programs that meet our criteria to apply. All entries will be reviewed by a panel comprised of AARP leaders and members of the local unit of the National Retired Teachers Association (NRTA) and will be subject to onsite evaluation by an outside evaluation team familiar with the criteria. Only one public high school in each state or territory will be selected to receive the award.
All entries are due by October 1, 2007. Presentations to the winners will be made in 2008. If you have any questions, please call our AARP toll-free number at 1-866-213-9669, Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. (Pacific Time).
