One senior student will be selected countywide from the school nominations. The recipient of this award has been selected by the Okaloosa County School Board. Peggy Bruner taught first grade in the Okaloosa County school system for 25 years and was married to Okaloosa County school superintendent, Max Bruner, who held that office from 1964 until 1984.
