Five Star Award
What is the purpose of the Five Star School Award?

The Five Star Award designates and recognizes schools that have total community involvement. There are
five separate areas, which cumulatively create a school deserving of this recognition. The areas that encom-
pass this award are Community/Business Partnership, Family Involvement, Volunteers, Student Community
Service, and School Advisory Council. The criteria set out in each area are reasonable, although some are
tougher than others. However, all requirements set high expectations for exemplary achievement. The Five
Star School Award is a prestigious distinction that is highly desirable in the community and in all school dis-
tricts throughout the State.
What is the incentive for the Five Star School Award?

Schools that receive the Five Star School Award will be designated annually, in the Fall, reflecting the achieve-
ment of the preceding year. It is intended that the celebration of this achievement at the beginning of the
traditional school year be a positive way to start the year.

The Five Star School Award designation showcases the value the school places on community involvement
and the school’s commitment. Further, recipients of the Five Star School Award will always receive a certifi-
cate of designation from the state, along with the prestige of the highest possible rating from the Department
of Education. The School District of Palm Beach County holds a “Five Star Reception” to honor school recipi-
ents where they are presented with a certificate and a Five Star flag to display proudly at their school.
