The Newport News Council of PTAs would like to recognize those students, school staff people, and volunteers who have stood out among their peers for their hard work and dedication to improving the quality of the school environment around them. To do this, the Council accepts nominations and applications for three separate awards.

Scholarship

The first of these is the scholarship award. This award is presented yearly to an outstanding student who has met the criteria set forth by the Council.

Staff Person of the Year

The second of these awards is the staff person of the year award. This award is presented yearly to a staff member who has been nominated and voted as the school staff person who has proved to be exemplary amongst his or her peers in their school environment.

Volunteer of the Year

The third award is the volunteer of the year award. This is an annual award that is bestowed upon a volunteer who has been nominated and selected as the volunteer who has made the greatest efforts to make their PTA and school a better environment for everyone.

After Prom Grant

In addition to the above awards, the Newport News Council of PTAs offers a grant to each high school Parent Teacher Student Association for their use in hosting an After Prom activity, to ensure the safety and welfare of students.
