If you know of a teacher or other staff member who goes out of his or her way to help students and support our schools, please consider nominating them for an Outstanding Educator/Employee Award. The deadline for nominations is Friday, March 13, 2026.
Nominations will be accepted online only. You can access the nomination form here.
The school district will present the 2025-2026 awards for Outstanding Elementary Educator, Outstanding Secondary Educator and Outstanding Employee later this year.
Here is an explanation of the awards and nomination guidelines.
The Outstanding Educator Awards should be based on a teacher’s ability to promote academic growth in her/his students and for outstanding pupil-teacher relationships. A person may nominate one elementary teacher, one secondary teacher or one teacher on each level. The nominee must currently be employed by Penn Manor School District.
Outstanding Employee Awards should be based on a staff member’s ability to support the educational program and the quality of his/her relationships with staff and students. A person may nominate one elementary staff member, one secondary staff member or one employee on each level. The nominee must currently be employed by Penn Manor.
Last year’s honorees were Outstanding Elementary Educator Mary Snyder, first grade teacher from Pequea Elementary School; Outstanding Secondary Teacher, Curt Elledge, Learning Support teacher at Manor Middle School; and Outstanding Employee of the Year, Jen Rohrer, Manor Middle School secretary.
Thank you for taking the time to acknowledge the hard work of our employees!
