Broken Arrow Public Schools honors 2019-20 Beyond & Above award finalists
Launch the media gallery 1 playerEvery year, the district recognizes five support employees who continually go the extra mile in support of the district’s goals and objectives.
Known as the Beyond and Above award, this year’s staff recognition program honors:
- Riana (Hunter) Ellis, Pre-K teacher assistant at Aspen Creek Early Childhood Center
- Starr Falling, custodian at Country Lane Primary
- Kelli Hunsperger, child nutrition manager at Centennial Middle School
- Melissa Norsworthy, principal's secretary at Childers Middle School
- LaDonna Ohanesian, paraprofessional at Vandever Elementary
These five finalists were nominated by their colleagues, administrators and supervisors. A five-member committee consisting of site and district administrators conducted a review of all candidate nominations.
“Each of these employees plays an integral part in the success of our district,” Superintendent Dr. Janet Dunlop said. “They ensure students are learning in a safe and supportive environment and are truly the backbone of Broken Arrow Public Schools.”
One of the five finalists will be named as the Support Employee of the Year at the annual Star Awards Gala on April 9 at Stoney Creek Hotel and Convention Center.
