Circle of Greatness - Employee Recognition Program
Circle of Greatness nominations are closed and will reopen when school starts in 2024-2025.
There are many Aledo ISD team members who are doing great work every single day!
You can nominate any employee serving in the district for the Circle of Greatness Award.
We are looking for employees who are bringing Aledo ISD #GrowingGreatness to life, positively impacting our community, and helping us grow each and every Aledo ISD student.
Every month, all nominees for the Circle of Greatness Award will receive a recognition award. There is no limit to nominations each month. We want to hear about every employee who exemplifies the district’s mindset of Growing Greatness.
During the December, March and June regular board meetings, the Aledo ISD Board of Trustees will recognize a top nominee from each category comprised of Professional, Paraprofessional, Auxiliary and Substitute employee groups. Among these quarterly winners, one in each category will be named as elite recipients in August at the Aledo ISD Convocation.
A successful nomination will tell the story of that employee by giving specific examples of their great work and dedicated service to the idea of Growing Greatness.
