A nomination form must be completed and submitted to the TPSD Public Information Department, P.O. Box 72, Tupelo, MS 38802.
The Golden Apple Awards Committee will consider each nominee. The Golden Apple Awards Committee will recommend the volunteer to the Superintendent for final award determination.
