School board members learned Tuesday in a regular meeting that high school principal and assistant principal Greg Johnson and Andy McGill each will be awarded the Jake Ryker Hero Award by the ALICE Training Institute during an upcoming conference in Washington, D.C., according to information presented Tuesday.
