OMAHA- Dr. Cheryl Logan, Omaha Public Schools superintendent, was recognized last week by the University of Pennsylvania and McGraw Family Foundation for her leadership during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Logan received the 2022 Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Prize in Education. According to a media release, Logan enabled "Omaha to be one of the first large, urban school districts in the nation to return to in-person learning in 2020."

Logan's partnership with the University of Nebraska Medical Center for a Covid-19 testing study also bolstered her case for the award, and showed her dedication to the students of OPS.

Shavonna Holman, school board president, praised Logan for her work in Omaha. "Omaha Public Schools is stronger because of Dr. Logan's student-centered service and leadership. We are proud to share our heartfelt congratulations."

The McGraw prize, which was established in 1988, seeks to recognize educators who empower students and enhance society.
