A strong advocate for education, Mayor Derek Norton proudly hosts the annual Mayor's Education Awards in the spring of each school year.  Going strong since 2006, the awards honor outstanding students from Smyrna area schools for their outstanding academic achievements, dedication, leadership, character, and contributions to our community.

Mayor Norton and the City Council are proud to honor all of this year's recipients on April 23, 2026 at the Smyrna Community Center for the "Red Carpet" Mayor's Education Awards Dinner & Ceremony (invitation only). Congratulations to all!

Congratulations to all of our past Mayor's Awards Recipients! (due to Covid, there was not an awards ceremony in 2020 or 2021)
