The School District of Fort Atkinson will present the 38th annual Wildermuth Award for Excellence in Education when educators gather for their fall convocation Wednesday, Aug. 23.

According to information released by the district, the Wildermuth award was created to recognize and reward School District of Fort Atkinson certified staff members — including teachers, librarians, guidance counselors, school psychologists and others working in education — for exemplary work.

Funded by the board of education, Fort Atkinson Education Association and Fort Atkinson Community Foundation, the award is given in memory of Ron Wildermuth, a longtime teacher and director of instruction in the district who died in a motorcycle crash at the beginning of the 1986-87 school year.

Due to Wildermuth’s involvement in the teacher orientation program, the award is presented at the annual teacher gathering at the start of the school year.

The names of this year’s 25 Wildermuth Award for Excellence in Education nominees, along with information explaining why each individual has received the nomination, as supplied by the School District of Fort Atkinson, follow.

Names are presented in alphabetical order.
