The city of Columbia recognized Columbia Public Schools Superintendent Peter Stiepleman and the MU chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity with Columbia Values Diversity Awards on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Every year, Columbia recognizes one member of the community and one organization or group that exemplifies the spirit of King with the award.
Stiepleman has worked with CPS for 16 years, first as a teacher and then as a principal and assistant superintendent before he took on the role of superintendent in 2014. This will be his last year as superintendent, as he announced in October that he’d be retiring after this school year.
