Background: Each month, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors recognizes an outstanding school, student, staff member, parent, or community member for a display of excellence, achievement, and innovation that may serve as an example to our school district and the entire Milwaukee community.

This month, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors is pleased to posthumously present the “Excellence in Education Award” to:

Corey D. W. Moore-Comer

Corey D.W. Moore-Comer was born on August 5, 1982, and journeyed from this life on February 9, 2018, at the age of 35. He was a proud graduate of Washington High School, and received his teaching certification and bachelor’s degree from Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio. Corey was a dedicated employee of Milwaukee Public Schools for 17 years, serving as a recreation assistant, interscholastic official, teacher, and most recently as a GEAR Up advisor at James Madison Academic Campus and Bay View High School.

Mr. Moore-Comer was an advocate for higher education and had a heart for children, and his ultimate passion was helping them to achieve their dreams. He understood that relationship building and authentic caring are the best inroads for reaching, educating, motivating, and inspiring young people. He also was a member of the African American Male Initiative, which harnesses resources to rally around Black males and provide a pathway to college.

Mr. Moore-Comer also enjoyed traveling, cooking, playing basketball, spending quality time with his family, having Sunday dinner with his granny, and making a difference in the lives of others.

The Milwaukee Board of School Directors recognize and honor Corey D. W. Moore-Comer, posthumously for his dedication, outstanding leadership, and commitment to excellence on behalf of the students of the Milwaukee Public Schools.
