RISD Achievers Lead the Way
The recognition section is an important part of each board meeting when we honor students, staff members and schools for outstanding achievement. Items for this section are submitted by individual schools and/or curriculum directors, and we hope that no errors or omissions have occurred in the transmission of information.

Special copies of recognitions are available at each board meeting, on that date.
