Announcing the Winners of the 2024 RFK Education Awards Each year for almost a decade, Schools That Can and Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights come together to celebrate and uplift the incredible school leaders, teachers, and students throughout STC's network with the RFK Education Awards. The RFK Education Awards are grounded in Robert F. Kennedy’s vision of a more just, peaceful world, and are awarded in the spirit of honoring RFK’s legacy and enduring commitment to human rights. Every year, we look forward to honoring the extraordinary work of school leaders, teachers, and students who show incredible commitment to their school communities. Being nominated for the RFK Education Award is a means of being recognized for remarkable commitment to education and contribution to a community. The nominations are a testament to the dedication, innovation, and leadership of nominees.
Schools That Can staff and colleagues nominate individuals who embody a quote selected by STC and RFK’s respective teams. For 2024, the quote is: "The future is not a gift: it is an achievement. Every generation helps make its own future. This is the essential challenge of the present." Winners were chosen by RFK Human Rights, and will be celebrated in a special, virtual award ceremony on May 23rd. Please join us in congratulating the 2024 winners of the RFK Education Awards:
