The Nebraska School Librarians Association has honored Lincoln High School Associate Principal Ryan Escamilla with its annual Distinguished School Administrator Award. The award recognizes a school administrator who has made worthy contributions to the operations of an exemplary school library and advancing the role of the school library. Escamilla has been at Lincoln High for four years and has supervised library services the entire time.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what Lincoln High media specialist Paula McClung said about Escamilla in her nomination letter:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen decisions need to be made that affect a staff member of our library or our library program, he comes directly to us and seeks our involvement in that decision. His keen sense of staff relationships and the way he seeks to gather information is certainly one of the most valued skills an administrator could have, and with Ryan, this is certainly the case in all he does.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Lincoln High media technician Carter Hulinsky had this to say about Escamilla:<\/p>\n
\u201cHe puts the needs of our students and school library above his own. He never takes any credit for any of his efforts, and would never consider himself deserving of this distinguished award.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
