At Hinsdale Central, many teachers and staff members go above and beyond to engage students or provide extra support to others in our Red Devil community. They teach classes, advise clubs, coach teams, and provide services that “make a difference” at our school. If you know of a teacher or staff member whose dedication or kindness has had a positive and lasting impact on you or your student, please nominate them for a Make A Difference Award by completing the form found here.
Anyone can make a nomination. Students will also receive this information directly via their school email. The PTO presents six Make A Difference Awards each quarter. The awards include our thanks with a personalized certificate and a $50 gift card.
Nominations received by Friday, January 20th, 2023 will be considered for the second quarter awards. You can view a list of recent Make A Difference Award recipients here. If you have any questions, please contact Patty Pappas or Alice Waverley at makeadifference@hcpto.org
