Grovetown Elementary School Principal Scott Weinand recently received the National Distinguished Principal Award for Southeast Georgia.
Weinand received the award Nov. 6 during a conference hosted by the Georgia Association of Elementary School Principals.
Five other elementary school principals from the state also received the award for their districts.
Weinand won for District 3, which includes Columbia, Wilkes, Lincoln, Taliaferro, Warren, McDuffie, Glascock, Richmond, Jefferson, Burke, Jenkins and Emanuel counties.
The award annually is given to principals demonstrating high standards for instruction, achievement and character.
Principal's Award
KUDOS to Mr. Weinand on his recognition for outstanding performance as GTES principal.
Furthermore, it's edifying to see a man as the principal of an elementary school. Little boys, in this era of "dead-beat 'dads'," need to see that a man can care about them, value education and assume a position of leadership in their lives.
