The nomination window is the first week of each month and the online form to nominate may be found on the Parent Academy page on hcps.org.

Ultimately, the school with the most votes is named that month’s winner. Schools may win multiple times.
HCPS is deeply grateful for its generous Chick-fil-A partners at the Aberdeen, Bel Air, Constant Friendship, and Forest Hill locations for their tremendous support of this program.
