On November 9, 2009, U.S. Senator Dick Lugar and Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Tony Bennett launched the Lugar Education Patriot Award. Through the award, Senator Lugar and Dr. Bennett will honor a school, school corporation, or education leader who has demonstrated leadership and initiative in improving the academic achievement and career preparation of Indiana students. Specifically, selected applicants should illustrate the challenges faced within the district or school, share details of action steps taken to address those challenges, and demonstrate through data, a positive result. Awardees will have their profiles posted on Senator Lugars and the Indiana Department of Educations websites and receive certificates designating them a Lugar Education Patriot along with letters of congratulations. They also will be considered for future visits from Senator Lugar and Dr. Bennett. For more information, visit http://lugar.senate.gov/education/patriot/.
