2025/26 staff recognition
Recognizing RSU 9's Exceptional Staff
RSU 9 is fortunate to have so many dedicated individuals working alongside us. We see firsthand the extraordinary efforts of our staff who consistently go above and beyond to support our students, families, and each other. To celebrate these contributions, we continue our monthly Staff Recognition Program.
This program honors the exceptional work and accomplishments of our staff. Each month, staff members are encouraged to nominate a colleague who deserves recognition. A Staff Recognition Committee reviews all nominations and selects two individuals (one support staff and one professional staff) to be recognized at an RSU 9 Board of Directors meeting.
Nomination Information:
- Nominations are accepted monthly.
- Nominations are considered for two months.
