FACES honors teachers who have made an impact and who continue to make an impact on student learning.

Two awards are given annually by FACES to honor two incredible educators--Carol Pittard and Dianne Wilson.  Their legacies continue through these awards given to outstanding teachers in Auburn City Schools.  In 2024, an award was added to honor the legacy of Bill and Carol Ham in Auburn City Schools.  We stand on the shoulders of giants.
