Each year, school districts in Northeast Georgia’s Pioneer RESA area honor an individual who has a strong commitment to improving educational outcomes for students with disabilities by presenting the Philip Wright Award. The award is given in the name of Philip Wright, who created a legacy of service in this area. Each regional education service agency district selected an individual who exemplifies service, deep respect and regard, commitment and advocacy for children with special needs. This year’s recipient for Hall County Schools is Stacy Milazzo, a special education teacher who teaches children with autism at West Hall Middle School.
