A Recognition Campaign from OperationsHERO

Hallway HEROES

Celebrating the people who keep our schools running.

Hallway HEROES is a recognition program from OperationsHERO for the custodians, technicians, and operations teams who keep schools safe and running. They are why we do what we do, and their work deserves an audience. Nominate someone on your team, and we will share their name, photo, and story in weekly spotlights on our social channels and newsletter.

The Grand Prize

A Scholarship in Their Name

Every honoree is entered to win prizes. And the grand prize is bigger than a gift card: a scholarship awarded in the winner’s name to a student at their school.

Because the people who take care of schools deserve a legacy that lives where they work.

If your nominee is selected for a spotlight, we will reach out to you before we publish anything. We only share names, photos, and stories with permission.

Someone on your team deserves this.

You know exactly who it is, and five minutes puts them in the spotlight. Fall nominations close November 23, 2026; the program runs again in spring 2027.
