The recognition followed a nomination submitted by Rich Appel, superintendent of the School District of Horicon. The award highlights businesses that demonstrate an exceptional commitment to supporting children, education, and local school communities.
According to district officials, Horicon Bank has consistently partnered with the school district through financial support, educational initiatives, and community programs that benefit students and families. These efforts align with the mission of the Bert Grover Child Advocacy Award, which honors organizations that go above and beyond in advocating for the well-being and success of children.
Superintendent Appel noted that Horicon Bank’s involvement extends beyond sponsorships, emphasizing its role as a trusted community partner that invests time and resources into student-focused programs. School leaders say the bank’s ongoing support has helped strengthen opportunities for students both inside and outside the classroom.
WASDA officials stated that nominations for the award are reviewed from across the state, making the recognition a significant honor for businesses serving Wisconsin school districts.
Representatives from Horicon Bank expressed appreciation for the award, crediting the strong relationship between the bank, the school district, and the broader Horicon community. They reaffirmed their commitment to continuing support for local education initiatives.
The award will be formally presented later this year at a WASDA event recognizing outstanding advocates for children and public education.
