2025 You Make A Difference Awards

Last month, we hosted our annual "You Make A Difference" Awards Ceremony. We celebrated 28 incredible staff members from Kalamazoo Public Schools who go above and beyond every day to shape the future leaders of tomorrow. Your dedication and passion inspire us all. Thank you, KPS, for partnering with us to make this event possible and for your unwavering commitment to education.

We would also like to thank Superintendent Dr. Darrin Slade and State Representative Julie M. Rogers for helping make this moment even more special. We were moved by the inspiring words of several members of The Promise team, who reminded us of the lasting impact these awardees have on our students.

Please join us in congratulating this year's recipients of the You Make A Difference Award!
