Each high school has submitted their senior student nomination for this prestigious award which conveys their outstanding abilities and is a distinguished honor of which they should be proud. 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. Okaloosa County and Fort Walton Beach was a much smaller community back then and Peggy Bruner actually taught many of the kids coming through school in the south end of our county. Both Peggy and Max Bruner were passionate about public education and believed that it was the key to achieving the modern American dream. She was dedicated to striving for excellence in all facets of childhood development. She would be deeply gratified to know that our County’s highest award for educational achievement and excellence is named after her.
