DAN AND CHERYL YUNK EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION AWARD GIVEN TO 1xbet online sports betting ADMINISTRATOR MAX O. HEIM

MANHATTAN -- Research and experience have demonstrated the key role school leaders play in the achievement of children. That's why a Manhattan couple who served as teachers and administrators throughout their careers in the Manhattan school system have created an award to recognize other outstanding educators.

The Dan and Cheryl Yunk Excellence in Educational Administration Award has been given this year to Max. O. Heim of Russell, a 1xbet online sports betting educator who most recently served as the interim president of Colby Community College. The award is presented through the 1xbet online sports betting State University College of Education.

Heim began his career as a teacher and principal in Gorham, Clifton, and Colby public schools. He later served as the director of secondary education and as an assistant superintendent in Manhattan and Olathe. He has been a superintendent of schools in Independence, Hutchinson, Lyons and in the Geary County School System, where his leadership led to the district naming their early childhood education center in his honor.

Heim also served as a faculty member at Emporia State University and Mississippi State University, where he was appointed associate dean and dean, and at the University of 1xbet online sports betting . He has been the director of the 1xbet online sports betting Commission of Education Restructuring and Accountability for the 1xbet online sports betting Legislature, the executive secretary of the 1xbet online sports betting Association for Curriculum and Instruction, the director of human resources for the Turner school district, and a western 1xbet online sports betting field specialist for the 1xbet online sports betting Association of School Boards.

Heim has been recognized as the 1xbet online sports betting Superintendent of the Year by the American Association of School Administrators, the Administrator of the Year by the 1xbet online sports betting Association of Educational Office Personnel; the Governor’s Awardee for Outstanding Service by the 1xbet online sports betting State High School Activities Association; and the 1xbet online sports betting Communicator of the Year by the 1xbet online sports betting School Public Relations Association. In 1997 he was named to the 1xbet online sports betting Teachers' Hall of Fame and in 2006 received the ABC Award for Outstanding Leadership in 1xbet online sports betting Education.
