BEAGLE Award
The Billings Exemplary Advocate for Gifted Learners and Educators (BEAGLE) Award is presented
each year to the person whose dedication to gifted and talented students and their education
serves as inspiration for the continuing improvement of education in Billings.
This award was established in 2001 by the Parents for Enrichment Programs (PEP) parent group
to honor the dedication and advocacy efforts of Stephanie Smith. Stephanie is a founding
member of AGATE, our state Gifted and Talented Education organization and is a motivating
factor in maintaining the Billings PEP group. Although retired from teaching, Stephanie
continues to work with teachers, administrators, parents, and students around the state
advocating for the special needs of gifted learners.
