During the over 150 years the Worcester County Public School System has been in existence, the county has built a well-earned reputation as one of the best school systems in the state and nation. Many ingredients have combined to foster the continuing excellence of the system - a stable and supportive community, positive family values, inspired central office leadership, financial backing by state and local governments, and students who take their education seriously.

Still, most will agree, the single most important factor in the formula for success has been the classroom teachers and building and central office instructional leaders. To honor those who have given their professional lives building a school system which consistently ranks high in student achievement among Maryland school districts, Worcester County Public Schools, in cooperation with the Worcester County Retired School Personnel Association (WCRSPA), has created the Hall of Fame Recognition Program. The purpose of the Hall of Fame is to recognize former school system employees for their outstanding contributions to the school system. The awardees chosen are recognized at a Board of Educationmeeting and names enshrined at the central office.

The legacy of exemplary employees has built the foundation on which the Worcester County Public School System continues to excel. The ‘Hall of Fame’ recognition acknowledges the contributions not only of those selected but the thousands who have served the children of our county throughout the years.
