College of Southern Idaho Professor Receives Pearson Excellence in Higher Education Award
TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — College of Southern Idaho (CSI) Professor of Music Serena Jenkins Clark has been announced as a winner of the 2023 Pearson Excellence in Higher Education Award for Community Advancement. Clark was selected from hundreds of nominations that were submitted and is the only community college faculty member to be chosen this year.
According to the Pearson team, Clark’s work as an educator stood out among her peers. Clark was chosen by the faculty at CSI to be nominated for the award, and her nomination application included several comments from her students.
“I’m honored that my colleagues selected me and nominated me in the first place, that’s always just exciting to know that your colleagues notice what you’re doing and appreciate what you’re doing,” Clark told KMVT. “Then I was honored and surprised to find out I was a finalist, and so to find out I was a national winner, it was really overwhelming.”
Professor Clark has been a teacher of music at CSI since 2003. She started her role as the Director of Choral Activities in Spring of 2004. Some of the musicals she has directed at CSI includes Legally Blonde, Oliver!, and Sweeny Todd.
“I’ve carefully tried to curate experiences for my choirs through the years that would have impact on the community through what we do, which is sing and make music,” said Clark. “So, its lovely to know that folks have noticed that.”
Professor Clark was also awarded the College of Southern Idaho Academic Faculty of the Year Award for 2023, and in 2020 she was honored by the Idaho State Board of Education with the GEM Innovative Educator in Humanistic and Artistic Ways of Knowing Award.
Congratulations to Professor Serena Jenkins Clark for receiving her most recent honor.

Local school administrator named Idaho’s Superintendent of the Year – East Idaho News
REXBURG — A local school administrator has been named Idaho Superintendent of the Year for 2026, recognizing his work at Madison School District.
According to a news release from the Idaho Association of School Administrators, Randy B. Lords Jr., the superintendent of Madison School District 321, was selected to represent Idaho as a nominee for the National Superintendent of the Year award.
He became superintendent for the district in 2021, where he has focused on improving academics through new programs and fostering the well-being of students and staff.
Lords was chosen, according to the release, due to his work on three main points:
- His support for career and technical education programs for students and for the use of an artificial intelligence-literacy program.
- His work on fiscal responsibility, with a focus on the district’s future growth and maintenance of its facilities.
- His work to improve parent and community involvement with the school district.
The ISAS executive director highlighted in the release Lords’ work to navigate the intricacies of leadership and improve the district’s academics.
“This recognition deeply humbles me, but this award belongs to the incredible faculty, staff and students of Madison School District,” Lords stated in the release. “Our success is a testament to the collaborative spirit of our community. I am honored to serve our families and will continue to work tirelessly to ensure every student has a world of opportunities at their fingertips.”
