San Diego County Office Of Education Honors School District Teachers Of The Year

SAN DIEGO, CA — The San Diego County Office of Education celebrated San Diego County's 51 school district teachers of the year Friday during the 35th annual Cox Presents: Salute to Teachers event.

Most of the school district winners will now go on to compete for one of five spots as San Diego County Teachers of the Year. Those honorees are expected to be announced by June 15.

"Teachers shape the lives of students every day, inspiring them by creating spaces where every student feels seen, supported, and empowered," said Dr. Gloria E. Ciriza, county superintendent of schools. "We're honored to partner with organizations like Cox Communications and San Diego County Credit Union to shine a light on and celebrate the more than 20,000 educators who show up every day to help shape a more just, compassionate, and hopeful future for all kids."

As part of the partnership, Cox Communications will produce a 30-minute "Cox Presents: Salute to Teachers" television special to recognize local teachers, spotlight the Teachers of the Year, and share highlights from the reception. The show will debut in the fall on Cox's YurView network, which is Channel 4 on Cox and Spectrum.
