The Florida Department of Education Golden and Silver School Awards are presented annually to recognize exemplary schools that promote parent and community engagement in education. The Golden School Award recognizes elementary, secondary, and adult schools with exemplary volunteer programs. The Silver School Award recognizes secondary schools that provide volunteer services to elementary or other secondary schools.

*Due to COVID-19 and its implications on school systems, the FLDOE will not acknowledge statewide initiatives, awards and recognition programs facilitated by the Bureau of Family and Community Outreach including the Golden & Silver Schools Awards during the 2020-2021 school year. Revised award criteria will be shared in the coming months.
