SAN JOSE, Calif.– Santa Clara County Federal Credit Union is sponsoring the Teacher Recognition Celebration organized by the Santa Clara County Office of Education (SCCOE) again this year.
This marks the 23rd year that County Federal has partnered with the SCCOE to recognize teachers throughout the county for their educational excellence and commitment to their students, school, and the community.
The 2018 Teacher Recognition Celebration marked nearly 50 years of Santa Clara County honoring educational excellence, making the SCCOE Teacher Recognition Celebration one of the oldest and most prestigious in the state. The Celebration is held every autumn to applaud the outstanding work of teachers from every Santa Clara County school district.
This year, 31 educators were honored for their outstanding work, as well as five teachers who received the STEM Teaching Award from event co-sponsor Texas Instruments.
“Educators are the unsung heroes of our community and we are proud to support Teacher Recognition Day as part our commitment to Santa Clara County,” said Rebecca Lytle, president and CEO of County Federal. “We have been serving county, city, and school employees for more than 65 years, but we seldom have this type of opportunity to publicly recognize the professionals who work to make our community such a wonderful place to call home.”
