Do you know an educator who is making a meaningful difference for learners?

The Government of New Brunswick is now accepting nominations for the 2026 Minister’s Excellence in Education Awards, which recognize educators who demonstrate exceptional commitment and dedication to student success.

These awards honour educators who show outstanding skills in the following areas:

• Innovative educational practices and leadership
• Responding to the diverse needs of all learners
• Lifelong learning
• Fostering a positive learning and working environment

This is an opportunity to acknowledge educators whose work has a lasting impact on students, schools, and learning communities across the province.

Individuals or groups, including parents and students, are encouraged to submit nominations. All nominations must be sent to your school district office, to the attention of the District Education Council chair, no later than March 13, 2026.

Nomination forms and additional information, including previous recipients, are available through the NBED portal and on the GNB website at www.gnb.ca/ExcellenceAwards.

Nominations are now open. Consider recognizing an educator who goes above and beyond for learners.

2025 ASD-N Recipients:

Ellen Lee
Janeville Elementary School

Paula Haché
King Street Elementary School

Anglophone North School District thanks students, families, staff, and community members who participated in the campaign to help name the new Campbellton K–8 school.

The campaign received 355 total submissions, reflecting strong engagement across the community. Ideas were shared through online submissions, in-school student participation, and a “design your sign” colouring activity for elementary students. Offering multiple ways to participate ensured that students of all ages had an opportunity to contribute.

The level of participation highlights the community’s interest in and connection to the new school, as well as a shared commitment to shaping a welcoming learning environment.

As outlined during the campaign, all submissions will now move forward through the established naming process. The Naming Committee will narrow submissions to three options and present them to the ASD-N District Education Council. One selected option will then be forwarded to the Minister of the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development for approval.

The successful name submission will be announced by the Minister and the District Education Council in Spring 2026.

Anglophone North School District sincerely thanks everyone who took part and contributed their ideas.
