SIKESTON — Sikeston R-6 Superintendent Dr. Tony Robinson has been recognized by the state for demonstrating outstanding educational leadership skills in Southeast Missouri.
The R-6 district announced on Tuesday Robinson was named the Missouri Association of School Administrators, or MASA, Emerging Missouri Superintendent of Schools for the Southeast region.
“I am honored and grateful to receive this award,” Robinson said. “I’m proud of the work that our teachers and administrators continue to accomplish in the classrooms. I am extremely proud of our new facilities we are building.”
The facilities Robinson is referencing are the new Lee Hunter Elementary and Bulldog Hall (C Building) on the high school campus under construction, and the kindergarten center multipurpose room project also underway.
Each year, MASA presents an award to an outstanding Emerging Missouri Superintendent of Schools from each MASA region. The award is in recognition of outstanding performance in the demonstration of those skills that reflect the best in educational leadership.
