TRAVERSE CITY — Jim Corr, a Northwest Education Services school psychologist, won national recognition for his efforts to support children.
Corr is one of “just a handful” of 2026 recipients of the National Association of School Psychologists’ Presidential Award in Recognition of Exceptional Service to Children and School Psychology, a North Ed press release said.
“It’s an honor to be recognized by my peers at NASP, and I am fortunate to be a part of a professional community where I work alongside others who care so deeply for our mission and communities,” Corr said. “Helping students overcome obstacles is a deeply meaningful experience, and it is a mission I am proud to share with an exceptional team. Our collaborative approach is what allows us to make a lasting difference in their lives.”
Corr has been working in the field for 28 years and currently supports students at the intermediate school district’s Life Skills Center, Adult Community Experience programs and New Horizons’ secondary programs.
As a school psychologist, he collaborates with parents, fellow educators and school staff to ensure students have the support they need to reach their full potential, the release said.
“Jim is an exceptional leader and a trusted resource for students, school families and colleagues,” said Carol Greilick, North Ed’s assistant superintendent of Special Education. “His advocacy for student success and his work to champion inclusive, collaborative approaches has been invaluable in creating a thriving learning environment at our schools.”
“I am humbled by this award, which I share with the many school psychologists working tirelessly for their communities across the nation,” Corr stated. “I want to thank the North Ed Administration and Board of Education for their continued support and for the privilege of serving in this role.”
NASP represents more than 24,000 school psychologists, graduate students and related professionals worldwide, according to its website. As the largest organization of its kind, NASP promotes effective practices that support students’ learning, behavior and mental health, with a vision that all children and youth thrive in school, at home and throughout life.
