Superstars in Education

Today’s students are tomorrow’s workforce. For more than 25 years, over 200 educational programs have received a Superstars in Education award. Programs range from single classroom programs to collaborative partnerships. This award is not just designed to point out what is working, it is dedicated to those programs that are special.

Superstars in Education is charged with recognizing outstanding educational programs and individual achievements. This event highlights excellence in science teaching, integrated classroom technology and school-to-career partnerships. It also serves the business community and its investment in the future. A strong workforce is imperative to economic development in the state. A skilled and educated workforce draws businesses to our state and encourages existing businesses to expand right here in Delaware. Whether college bound, preparing for a trade job or working in the manufacturing world, students need to be equipped with the knowledge and skills to be productive employees and citizens. Today’s students are tomorrow’s workforce.
