MILWAUKEE, Wis. (July 30, 2012) — The national law firm of Quarles & Brady LLP announced that John W. Daniels Jr., chairman of Quarles & Brady LLP, received an Excellence in Education Award from the Milwaukee Public School (“MPS”) Board of School Directors.
Each month, the MPS Board of School Directors selects one individual to receive an Excellence in Education Award in recognition of excellence, achievement and innovation that may serve as an example to the school district and the entire Milwaukee community.
