The George Peabody Legacy Award is presented by the Peabody Education Foundation to recognize and honor the educators and philanthropists from within the community who work to provide a lifetime of contributions to our educational system. It is an honor to recognize educators who have gone above and beyond to make a lasting difference in the lives of their students. In the classroom they are both learners and facilitators of learning. They attend to the social and emotional needs of their students, making a lasting, positive impact by providing a progressive learning atmosphere meeting the needs of every individual child. In these days of global pandemic, the traditional ways of educating students have been severely disrupted. Teachers and community members are rising to the challenge by providing an education that goes beyond just academics.
