Outstanding Employee Awards Program
Parents and students have an opportunity to recognize an outstanding Luther Jackson employee through the FCPS Outstanding Employee Award Program. Nominations from parents, students and employees will be collected, and a committee will chose one employee for each category to move on to the pyramid and region level for consideration.
To submit a nomination for a Luther Jackson Middle School Outstanding Employee in one of the categories below, please complete the nomination through this Google Form.
You may nominate one or multiple employees at our school. One individual may only nominate one employee per category per form (there are six total categories).
