The Starkville Oktibbeha Consolidated School District will celebrate the excellent work of our outstanding employees and parents and the careers of our retirees as we honor them during our Awards of Excellence and Retiree Recognition program and reception on June 8.
The awards program begins at 5 pm in the auditorium of Greensboro Center with a reception immediately following in the mezzanine. Family, friends and colleagues are invited to attend.
Our nominees, selected by their peers at each school, represent a true commitment to excellence. Each one is dedicated to their students and their colleagues, and their efforts make SOCSD a better place to learn and to work.
Congratulations to our Awards of Excellence recipients and our retirees! We look forward to honoring you on June 8.
