2025 All-Star Awards Nominations

2025 All-Star Awards Nominations

As part of our commitment to Racial Equity and Social Justice and our vision of the Graduate Portrait, the All-Star Awards serves as an extension of the vision of Portland Public Schools ReImagined.

 

The All-Star Awards Ceremony is Portland Public Schools’ premier recognition event for students and communities of color to relish in a night full of excellence, community, and celebration. The event features five group recognitions:

 

  • API Voices for Asian and Pacific Islander student honorees

  • New Portlanders for students honorees who’ve recently made Portland home

  • Sí Se Puede for Latinx student honorees

  • Take Flight Native Pride for American Indian and Alaska Native student honorees

  • Young, Gifted, and Black for African, Black, and African American student honorees

 

These five recognition groups come from previous individual recognition celebrations that once were all separate celebrations put on by the communities for the students and communities of that recognition group.  As an effort to support all celebrations as a district, we have brought all celebrations together into one celebration. 

 

We recognize that our students demonstrate excellence in many ways including being critical thinkers, life long learners, transformative leaders, and through their commitment to their culture and communities. If you know a student who deserves to be recognized and celebrated for who they are and what they’ve accomplished, please nominate them to be an All Star!

 

To nominate a student, please use this form. Nominations will be open Monday, January 27, 2025 and close on Monday, February 24, 2025. Please submit 1 nomination per student even if the student may qualify for multiple awards. Students will be honored on Thursday, May 15th, 2025.

 

Nominations can be made by teachers, staff, parents, and community members. 

 

If you are interested in serving on any of the subcommittees to select honorees, contact Yian Saechao in the RESJ Department at yisaechao@pps.net.
