Each year one teacher and one staff member, parent, or other "layperson" receives the NCTA Honor and Service Award. The request is made by Chris Brillant to the STA Executive board and building reps for nominees at the January meeting. At the February meeting, building reps bring nominee speeches and read them. The Executive board then votes and the decision is made. From all the Honor Award recipients, one will be chosen to also receive the Laura Warcup Distinguished Educator Award.
