Difference Maker award recipients are staff members who have made an overwhelming impact on the lives of others inside and outside of our classrooms. This year, we will be honoring one from each school and one from each district department that are considered “unsung heroes.”

The Greenwich Public Schools “Difference Maker 2.0” award is presented monthly to full or part-time employees who, through their unique commitment and humanitarian spirit, have made exceptional and lasting contributions to the GPS community through one life-changing event, extraordinary long-lasting efforts, or making a difference in the lives of others every single day. Honorees are officially nominated by principals and district senior leadership.

This honor is open to all employees of Greenwich Public Schools, full or part time, in good standing, pending a human resources review. It excludes contractors or employees of other town agencies.
