“Having been raised in a family of educators, this award carries a profound significance for me. My childhood was spent in teachers’ lounges, where I was privy to the dedication and passion that fuels the education of our future generations. This honor is not solely mine, but it belongs to all the educators in my family and those I was fortunate enough to learn from. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared commitment to the children of Florida,” expressed Long upon receiving this award.

The selection committee, comprised of statewide education leaders, public and corporate sector leaders, school board members, administrators, superintendents, educators, and union leaders, voted to honor Mr. Long with this recognition.

We are immensely proud of his achievement and celebrate this honor with him.

Please join us in congratulating Mr. Long on this well-deserved recognition. His dedicated leadership and commitment to the children of Florida continue to inspire us all.
