The Excellence in Education Awards were established in 1999 by retired Sycamore elementary school teacher Yvonne Johnson with an endowment fund at the DeKalb County Community Foundation. The awards are to honor and acknowledge outstanding teachers, administrators and support staff from school districts throughout DeKalb County. Winners receive $1,000 and are recognized at a reception in March.
