826 Seattle receives the KCTS 2007 Golden Apple Award!

Established in 1998, the Stanley O. McNaughton Golden Apple Award recognizes educators whose commitment to excellence inspires students to attain success in academic and/or vocational areas. The award seeks to recognize teaching that enhances students’ ability to think and act both logically and creatively, and to work effectively both independently and as part of a team. The award is named for the late Stanley O. McNaughton, CEO of PEMCO Financial Services. Throughout a highly successful business career, McNaughton was first and foremost a teacher—a person who believed strongly in “lifelong learning” before the phrase was ever coined. McNaughton’s commitment to excellence in education and his active support of the Golden Apple Awards contributed greatly to the growth and success of the Awards.
