The Armstrong-Indiana Intermediate Unit held its annual Convention of School Directors and have re-named an award in honor of their late director.
Instead of presenting the annual “Friend of Education” award this year, the IU officially changed the name of the award to the Dr. Brigette Matson Friend of Education award, and present a plaque commemorating the occasion to her family as an act of appreciation for all she did for the group. Matson started as the director of ARIN in 2021. Before that, she was a superintendent at both the Brookville and DuBois area school districts.
The award will now “carry forward her spirit of generosity, leadership and unwavering belief in the power of education.”
