The Hall of Fame Award acknowledges a retired MASA superintendent or firstline administrator for career-long service and continued passion for education and community throughout retirement. The dedication of these individuals to  schools and communities serves as a model for all administrators, and Michigan feels the impact of their leadership far longer than the span of their careers.

MASA is very grateful to these members who have taken MASA’s slogan “Your Success, Our Passion” and applied it to their career and to their lives. These individuals have influenced the lives of many children, colleagues, and friends, and their work and accomplishments will not be forgotten.

Beginning in 2013, MASA began awarding a statewide Michigan Hall of Fame Award to one individual who has made significant impact on youth and education.
