Community Recognition
Circle of Excellence Awards
Tabor’s Circle of Excellence was established in 2019, in the tradition of the school’s past Distinguished Service and Lifetime Achievement Awards, to celebrate members of our school community for their contributions and service to Tabor and the world.
The Circle of Excellence, held every other year, recognizes individuals who have distinguished themselves through professional, academic, artistic, and personal achievements, as well as leadership, service, and philanthropic impact. This unique recognition honors those who personify Tabor’s mission to connect, serve, and lead.
