Every Student Succeeding

ACSA AWARDS PROGRAM

One of ACSA's priorities is to ensure that school leaders are recognized for their excellence. Through our annual awards program, we honor students, administrators, and community organizations for their achievements and their dedication to public education at both the regional and state levels.

ABOUT EVERY STUDENT SUCCEEDING

ACSA believes every student deserves equal opportunities to succeed. On every school day throughout California, dedicated educators and courageous students overcome tremendous obstacles to reach their goals of academic excellence.

Their success is our success; Their powerful stories are our inspiration.

Each year, ACSA recognizes 19 pre-K-adult students, one from each geographic region, as well as two California adult education students, for overcoming the odds and achieving success.

Recognition

Students will be honored at ACSA's Leadership Summit Every Student Succeeding Luncheon, as well as at various regional events.

ACSA will actively publicize award recipients through the news media, and ACSA's website, publications and social media channels.
