Celebrate the Stars of Education in Wake County
October 16, 2019
Raleigh Marriott City Center | 5:00 – 8:00pm
Stars of Education
Stars of Education, presented by PNC Bank, is an annual awards gala dinner to celebrate and honor those who form the backbone of a strong public education system in Wake County. This event is WakeEd’s largest fundraiser of the year, with proceeds going to support our mission and program of work each day.
In 2019, we are proud to present the prestigious Vernon Malone Friend of Education Award to Dale Jenkins, a member of the Wake County community who has dedicated his life to improving public education in North Carolina. Six outstanding educators, alumni, and community leaders will also be inducted into the Wake County Public School System Hall of Fame. This year we will also spotlight WakeEd’s programs and teacher leaders, including our SummerSTEM coaches, for the impact they have made in Wake County Public Schools.
