* Spirit of the

Commonwealth

Award

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) is pleased to announce the Spirit of the Commonwealth Award. Based on its Student Advisory Committee’s recommendation, the Board of Education established the Spirit of the Commonwealth Award to acknowledge the importance of promoting student involvement by recognizing student leadership in the school and community. The award will be given annually to individual public high school juniors who have demonstrated academic achievement, well-rounded participation in school activities, and community and civic responsibility. Individual public middle/junior and high schools are also able to receive an award by providing diverse opportunities for students to serve the community and others in co-curricular and/or extracurricular activities, such as service learning and volunteering experiences. This award represents an opportunity for schools to demonstrate how character education is put in action.
