Black Oak Mine Unified School District

At the May 9 meeting of the Black Oak Mine Unified School District Board of Trustees, Corrine Staves was honored with an Excellence in Education award. Superintendent Jeremy Meyers presented Staves with her award, acknowledging her tireless efforts to organize Every 15 Minutes since its inception in 1997; for her steadfast efforts to save lives through the First Responder program via the Garden Valley Fire Protection District; and for her ongoing efforts to lead, teach and promote the career opportunities for Divide youth.

She is a straight A student here at Golden Sierra.” Langford stressed that she is a role model for her peers, rises to all challenges and performs as an outstanding student.
