Employee Recognition
-
Communications Department facilitates the recognition of school district employees for their good work and also when they reach milestones in their career.
The Lighthouse Award is considered the highest honor that can bestowed on a Mukilteo School District employee. It is presented two times a year to recognize the exceptional contributions of time, talent, and effort to students and the community. Nominations are made by fellow staff members and the winners are determined by a committee of employees representing all areas of the school district. The nominations are evaluated to several factors, such as:
- Special contributions of time, talent or effort to students, staff, the school district, and the community
- Excellence in their position
- Personal impact within their job surroundings
- Positive relationships with other staff members and with parents and the public
- Professional growth
