The Brazee Award

This award will be made periodically (not necessarily annually) to acknowledge people who have helped promote quality middle level education in Maine in ways other than public school service. In 2002, the award was renamed The Brazee Award in honor of the numerous, ongoing contributions of Dr. Ed Brazee.
