EAGLE Award

The Exceptional Adult Georgian in Literacy Education (EAGLE) Program celebrates adult learners who demonstrate outstanding achievement in Georgia’s adult education classes. Adult Education instructors nominate students based on character, attitude, attendance, leadership, and community involvement, with one student selected to represent the local program at the statewide EAGLE Leadership Institute.

This two-day event recognizes student success and builds leadership, communication, and life skills. EAGLE delegates serve as ambassadors for adult education, inspiring others to pursue their goals. Since 1993, the program has honored more than 1,600 students who continue to make a positive impact in their families and communities.

The Outstanding Adult Education Teacher of the Year Award honors educators who demonstrate exceptional commitment to student success and innovation in adult education.
