The winners are selected based on leadership for learning, communication, professionalism, and community involvement.
Nugent is competing with another local area superintendent, Dr. Kellen Adams, of Leavenworth USD 453, while the third finalist is Heather Bohaty, Superintendent for Derby USD 260.
The winner of the award will be named Monday.
