Beginning in the spring of 2024, the Bob Buchanan Legacy of Excellence Award will be presented annually to a pair of former Abingdon High School educators who have inspired many students throughout their careers.

 

This recognition will honor individuals who embody the same attributes as Bob Buchanan, which include:

• motivation of students to achieve above and beyond the initial level of knowledge and skill, supported by specific examples;

• recognition by peers as a leader at both the local and regional levels;

• aptitude for seizing any opportunity to improve the total school community;

• ability to make each student feel they are the most important person in the room;

• documented examples of student achievement; and

• dedication to service to others.

 

In the coming months, members of the founding committee will begin receiving nominations for candidates.
