2024 School Safety Advocate Award Recipient: Camden Dalrymple
SIA has recognized Camden Dalrymple as the 2024 winner of the SIA School Safety Advocate Award. Dalrymple is a 10th-grade student at Montgomery High School in Montgomery, Pennsylvania, and the student manager for the Montgomery Area School District’s broadcasting program. In his first solo project with the broadcasting program, Dalrymple served as creative director, copywriter and video for a “Stop the Prop” public service announcement video created to bring further awareness to school safety. The Stop the Prop campaign empowers students, school employees and visitors to help keep schools safer by following a simple step: not propping open doors, and closing doors they see propped open.
