As part of the Beaumont Foundation’s ongoing commitment to supporting education, the Wayne A. Reaud Excellence in Education Award was created to celebrate and recognize superior contributions of teachers whose leadership and dedication inspire a spirit of learning in students of all backgrounds and abilities. Fifteen teachers are selected annually to receive this prestigious award in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the education system of southeast Texas. Each award recipient was honored at an awards gala on May 14, where they received a crystal obelisk, a portrait, and $10,000.
7M视频 is proud to join in celebrating 13 alumni as Reaud Excellence in Education Award winners.
