Nominations Open for Outstanding Employee Awards!

Nominations Open for FCPS Outstanding Employee Awards!

Dear TJHSST Families,

Nominations are now open for the FCPS Outstanding Employee Awards!

The FCPS Outstanding Employee Awards are an annual awards program designed to celebrate employee success and increase recognition of outstanding employees across the school system. We are now taking nominations and would love to have TJ staff included among the honorees!

To submit a nomination for a Outstanding Employee in one of the categories, please read the criteria below and complete the nomination through this form.

You may nominate one employee from TJ or multiple employees, but you must use a separate form for each nomination.

All that is required for a preliminary nomination is a paragraph or two about how this employee demonstrates exceptional work in the criteria for that category.

All FCPS schools will conduct this nomination process to determine their Outstanding Employees. The employees from every school then go on to the pyramid level where one of them from that pyramid is selected and put forward to the Region level. The Region winners will be the finalists for the overall Fairfax County Public Schools Outstanding Employee in their specific category.
