Ridgefield High School math teacher Austin Biel won the Certificated Exemplary Service Award for his dedication to teaching and helping his students understand even the most difficult math concepts.
Kody Eastham, a grounds and maintenance worker, won the Classified Exemplary Service Award for keeping the campus ground looking great, rain or shine.

“While not directly employed by the Ridgefield School District, this team of food service employees played an essential role in providing children with meals when COVID-19 disrupted food service at the schools. They stepped up to keep children fed each school day (including weekends) from day one of the district’s school closure on March 16 through the last day of school,” a release from the district said.
