The Alonzo A. Crim Award Celebration honored seven outstanding individuals and three schools for their unwavering commitment to advancing equity across Atlanta Public Schools. Selected from a highly competitive pool of nominees, these champions will serve as district ambassadors, engage in equity-focused learning, and receive microgrants to support transformative initiatives. Congratulations to this year’s recipients and school champions. Your impact is shaping a more just and inclusive future for all APS students! 💙#APSExcellence #AtlantaPublicSchools

A huge shout-out to our 2025 Alonzo A. Crim Award recipients! Throughout May, the Office of Equity + Social Justice traveled across our district to surprise and celebrate 10 incredible finalists—from individual staff members to entire schools. These superheroes support special populations, bridge language and cultural barriers, secure essential resources, amplify diverse voices, and partner with community organizations. Their work truly helps every student belong and thrive. Thank you for making our district a place where everyone belongs and can succeed! #AtlantaPublicSchools To learn more about this amazing story, check out #APSToday! apstoday.us/2025/06/06/atl…
