Our Recipients
Joe Hougland
First Quarter 2019-2020 School Year
Principal Joe Hougland has played a key role in starting a school wide inclusion program at Stewart Elementary. Mr. Hougland made sure that his ESE teachers and regular education teachers have the opportunity to plan together and work together as they educate the ESE student population in a regular classroom environment. Mr. Hougland knew the educational value that this plan could have on his entire student population, and he took the initiative to institute the plan with his school. Change is often not easy for some to embrace, and it would have been easy for Mr. Hougland to continue what they were doing for ESE students that attended Stewart Elementary, BUT he did not keep doing things the way they always have, he took the steps to start an inclusive school at Stewart Elementary, this is a true leader. Above all, Mr. Hougland is a humble individual, always giving the credit to his staff, parents and students, but without his leadership and drive to make sure the plan was effectively implemented, it would have never taken place. Mr. Hougland is a leader who thinks outside the box in order to make sure that all of his students have the best educational opportunities available. Thank you Mr. Hougland for all that you do for our students, you are very much appreciated…
