Excellence deserves recognition! The Horace Mann/IPA Awards for Excellence program does just that by recognizing the outstanding accomplishments of school leaders so they receive the acclaim they deserve. State winners are selected by an Awards Committee made up of past IPA presidents. State winners are recognized annually at awards ceremonies held in conjunction with the Education Leaders Annual Conference every October.
