Every year, Naperville 203 honors its outstanding staff and community at the Those Who Excel Awards.

The 2020 Rebecca Smith-Andoh award went to a teacher who truly embraces all, and cherishes the difference in everyone, Susan Tarson, Scott Elementary School Music Teacher.

The Arlo Schilling First Year Teacher honors the former North Central College president. This year’s recipient was Stephanie McCauley, Steeple Run’s Fourth Grade Teacher.  Ms. McCauley believes creating relationships with students is important, she gives up personal time to attend events where her students are participants.
