These recipients were selected by their principals and math teachers based on their test scores, classroom performance, and potential for achievement in math-related fields. This award was established in 2007 by the family of Deirdre Purcell Collins to recognize and encourage achievement in math among girls. Two seventh grade girls from each middle school in the Peoria Public Schools District are selected annually for this recognition. The award is named in memory of Deirdre who grew up in Peoria and attended Whittier, Washington Gifted (now Reservoir), and Manual High School. She successfully incorporated her love for math in her career choices.
