Celebrating Dedication: APS Honors 2025 Service Award Recipients

APS is proud to celebrate the remarkable employees who have dedicated decades of service to our students, schools and community.

At the 2025 APS Service Awards during the Feb. 13 School Board Meeting, 122 employees were honored. Each person reached career milestones of 25, 30, 35 or 40 years with APS.

These honorees represent every corner of our schools—from teachers and administrators to extended day staff, facilities and maintenance teams. While their roles may differ, they share a common commitment to service and a profound impact on generations of students and families.

This year’s honorees include:

  • 77 employees celebrating 25 years
  • 37 employees marking 30 years
  • A distinguished group of seven employees reaching 35 years
  • Kim Crittenden honored for an incredible 40 years of service

Each honoree was recognized with a certificate and a token of appreciation, a small gesture for the immeasurable impact they have had on APS. We thank them for their dedication, their passion, and the countless lives they have shaped throughout their careers.

Congratulations to all our 2025 Service Award recipients! Your commitment is what makes APS stronger every day.
