Yesterday, we celebrated some of the incredible staff members who have dedicated years of service to KASD. Here’s another way to recognize ALL the amazing educators who make our schools such special places.

We are fortunate to have so many outstanding educators across the Kaukauna Area School District, and we would love to see them represented among this year’s Fox Cities Chamber Excellence in Education Award nominees.

If a KASD educator has made a difference for your child, your family or our school community, take a few minutes to nominate them and help us recognize the impact they make every day.

Nominations are open until noon on November 12.
Nominate an educator: https://form.jotform.com/262286096215157
Award recipients will be celebrated on March 4, 2027.
