South Windsor Public Schools

Do you know someone who deserves an award for their volunteer service?
The South Windsor Board of Education invites residents, or employees of a South Windsor business or organization to nominate someone who has volunteered their time for the betterment of the South Windsor community.
The Eugene Policelli Service Awards were established by the Board of Education to recognize and honor Dr. Eugene Policelli’s service to the town of South Windsor.
The nominee must: 
1) be a resident of South Windsor for the past three years, or have worked and/or volunteered in South Windsor for at least three years, or 
2) be a South Windsor High School Grade 12 student, and 
3) be an example of outstanding citizenship and have made a significant contribution to enhancing the quality of life in South Windsor.

Nominees may be nominated by an organization where an individual has volunteered, an employer, a school employee, or a community member.
A family member cannot initiate a nomination.

Prior to making a nomination, please read the service/leadership criteria below:

Impact on the Community: Was the nominee’s contribution substantive enough to make a difference in the organization and the community?
Amount/Depth of Service: Does the nominee appear to have demonstrated a long-term commitment to one or more community service activities?

The nomination deadline is February 22, 2026.
