The award is presented to one exemplary special education student from each of Ohio's 16 State Support Team regions. This award was established 25 years ago by the Ohio Department of Education in honor of the late Dr. Raymond A. Horn, Assistant Superintendent of Public Instruction Emeritus.
We are SO proud of you, Aiden!

We also welcome private donations from others in the local community, as well as from alumni, faculty and staff. Please visit our website, www.cafsa.us, for more details about our 501(c)(3) organization and how to make a contribution.
