ACOE serves as liaison between the California Department of Education and 18 public school districts with more than 215,000 students and 12,000 teachers.
The honorees are being recognized for their individual dedication and excellence in the classroom this school year.
“I am deeply inspired everyday by our educators who work tirelessly in service of our students,” said Alameda County Superintendent of Schools Alysse Castro. “I am very excited to recognize this year’s Teachers of the Year, and uplift their hard work and dedication.”
An awards ceremony will be held in September at Hayward Performing Arts Center.
