The White River Communities Champion Award recognizes the commitment of those who make the White River School District a better place to live, learn and grow.

White River Families First Coalition is now accepting nominations for the 2015 Communities Champion Award until April 17th.

– The individual or group that goes above & beyond what is expected of them – as a volunteer or in their professional role.
