“I have a fantastic team of administrators whom I love and respect that really shares in this award,” said Akers. “Of course, our great teachers, students, counselors, cooks, nurses, bus drivers and custodians make this school community what it is. I’m just happy to be a part of it all. I am very truly humbled. This award is simply an extension of the great work our administrative team does to promote our students, teachers, support personnel and the entire Warsaw community.”

“I have had the privilege and honor of working with Mr. Akers for the past seven years, and throughout that time, I have found him to be most deserving of this distinction,” said Dani Barkey, assistant superintendent for secondary schools.
