Past Award Winners

Award Recognition - Celebrating Excellence


Each year at our Annual State Conference, the Ohio Middle Level Association (OMLA) proudly recognizes the outstanding contributions of educators, programs, and middle-level components. We honor excellence in a variety of categories:


  • Individual Awards:
  • Team of the Year
  • Educator of the Year
  • Student of the Year
  • Support Staff of the Year
  • Parent of the Year


Beyond individual achievements, we also highlight exceptional programs and regional impact:


  • Component Award: This award celebrates schools that have masterfully implemented middle school concepts. Recognized schools serve as vital models for others, offering valuable resources and opening their doors for visitations. They're also encouraged to share their insights through presentations at our annual conference.
  • Regional Award: Our eight OMLA Regional Representatives present these awards to exceptional members within their areas who demonstrate unwavering commitment to middle-level education.
