Each year the Goffstown School District seeks to recognize individuals and organizations who have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to support student learning and superior education in our community. This recognition is represented in two different awards: The Cornerstone Award and the Dream Keeper Award.
Cornerstone Award
The Cornerstone Award recognizes a staff or community member working within our schools who has demonstrated outstanding achievements in support of student learning and particularly whose service has been truly outstanding to the overall educational climate of the school district and who exhibits commitment, good human relations skills, loyalty, dedication and good organizational and work habits.
Dream Keeper Award
The Dream Keeper Award is presented in recognition of people or organizations that truly have gone the extra mile to make the Goffstown dream of providing a superior education a reality. This may include such things as acts of heroism, academic achievements, serving on national/regional boards, publishing or presenting and/or significant contributions to the district in service.
