Nominations being accepted for Student Heroes Program

The State Board of Education (SBOE) is now accepting nominations for the 2016 Student Heroes Award.

The Student Heroes awards program recognizes Texas public school students in prekindergarten through high school who do outstanding things to benefit their fellow Texas students.
  
One student per each of the 15 SBOE districts can be recognized for this annual honor. Anyone may nominate a public school student for the award. Award requirements include:

- The service/assistance or good deed must be voluntary and not part of any curriculum, graduation requirements or class or community project. 
- The service/assistance or good deed must benefit other students in Texas, either individually or as a whole.
- The benefit may be to students of one campus, a district or a community.

Recipients of the Student Heroes awards will be announced in May. A certificate of recognition will be awarded to the Student Hero by his or her State Board of Education member. The deadline for nominations is Mar. 11.
