Starting in 2025, the Alumni Association established the Superlative Staff Award to honor exceptional Oneonta Schools employees. This award recognizes staff members who demonstrate outstanding dedication, leadership, and service, positively impacting students, staff, and the broader school community.

Each year, there is an awards ceremony during Alumni Weekend where the Superlative Staff Award honoree (or their representative) is presented with a plaque and invited to give a brief speech. The ceremony takes place alongside the presentations for the Alumni of the Year and the Wall of Distinction and Athletic Hall of Fame inductees. Plaques honoring the recipients will be displayed at Oneonta High School.

Nominations are due by March 31, 2025, and starting in 2026, the deadline will shift to January 31 each year. For questions about the award or to express interest in joining the selection committee, contact Diane Georgeson (dgeorgeson5@gmail.com)
