Lockport School District 91 - HIVE Award
A Celebration of Exceptional Contributions to the Hornet HIVE

The Lockport School District 91 HIVE Award is a program new this year to specially recognize the above and beyond contributions of the Lockport D91 parents and community members. This award is intended to celebrate truly exceptional contributions that were selflessly made in order to make a positive and meaningful impact on the lives of our students, staff and D91 community - the whole Hornet HIVE.

Eligibility and Nominating Process

Any community member of District 91 is eligible to receive the HIVE Award. Exceptions include the Board of Education President, Superintendent, and previous award winners.
Nominations are accepted via the official online form which can be found on the D91 website or accessed here. Nominations must be submitted in the time period specified below. Nominations submitted after the submission deadline will not be considered by the selection team.
The nomination form can be submitted by any District 91 stakeholder; including parents, students, staff, residents, and volunteers. A person cannot nominate himself/herself.
The form requires the nominator’s name, contact information, and role in the District. Forms cannot be submitted anonymously. More than one person can contribute to a single nomination; names of additional nominators can be entered in the form field where indicated. The form requires an essay (minimum of 200 words, maximum 500 words), which describes how the nominee made or continues to make exceptional contributions in order to make a positive and meaningful impact on the lives of our students, staff and D91 community - the whole Hornet HIVE.
Nominations under or that exceed the word limit will not be considered.

Timeline and Winner Selection

The 2025 nomination period will be open Tuesday, April 8, 2025 - Wednesday, April 30, 2025.
A selection team will complete a review of the submissions and identify the winner(s) no later than Friday, May 9, 2025. The selection team will include the Board of Education President, Superintendent, and a D91 Teachers Union Leadership representative. The selection team members may not submit a nomination. Prior to the start of the selection process, the Superintendent may consider adjustments to the selection team at his/her discretion.
If the same individual is nominated via multiple submissions, all submissions will be considered together in determining winner selection. (The receipt of multiple submissions for a single individual will not increase the likelihood of that person being selected.)
Winners will be selected based on the information presented in the submitted form(s) describing how the nominee has demonstrated, in concrete and specific ways, the exceptional contributions made in order to make a positive and meaningful impact on the lives of our students, staff and D91 community.
Up to three individuals or groups/organizations may receive the HIVE Award per school year, but there may be some years when no one receives an award. There may be more than one winner from the same community group/organization.
The selected winner(s) will be notified via a surprise announcement in early May 2025.
Winners will be formally recognized at the beginning of the May 13, 2025 Board of Education meeting. Winners will receive a gift from the district as a token of appreciation.
People who are nominated but not selected will receive a copy of the nomination submitted on their behalf and a letter from the Superintendent acknowledging their contributions.
