About Rise and Rooted
Some people rise. Some people help others stay rooted.
Rise and Rooted recognizes individuals whose character, growth, service, leadership, and everyday actions strengthen their schools and communities.
Every recognition cycle, we honor one student with The Rise Award and one school employee with The Rooted Award. Recognition is not based on popularity — it's based on impact.
The Rise Award
Student Honor
For a student demonstrating meaningful growth, character, leadership, perseverance, service, or positive influence.
The Rooted Award
School Employee Honor
For a school employee whose commitment, character, service, and impact help students and their school community thrive.
