Honoring Aubrey Puckett’s legacy by celebrating Head Start alumni and parents who come full circle—working in programs, advocating for Head Start, and serving their communities with passion and purpose.

This national staff award in memory of Aubrey Puckett celebrates a Head Start alum or parent who now works for a Head Start or Early Head Start grant recipient with active NHSA membership and exemplifies passion for service through speaking up for Head Start, career growth, and community involvement at the program, local, state, or national level.
