We hope that you will join us in continuing congratulations for these incredible people who go above and beyond for the children of Calvert County each day.

To congratulate nominees, alongside our executive team were members of the Calvert County Board of County Comissioners, Calvert County Government, Calvert County, Maryland, Calvert County Sheriff's Office, Calvert County Public Schools Board of Eduation, Central office Administration and Central Office Supervisors, and Presidents of Calvert Education Association "CEA" & Calvert Association of Educational Support Staff - CAESS

A special thank you to the Calvert High School - CCPS activities planning, auditorium tech, and building services for your hospitality in allowing us to hold the event in your auditorium. Another thank you for your musical talents with your orchestra and choral contributions, and finally for your NJROTC members contributing the presentation of the National Colors.
