Teachers Gina Chekouras, of Gilroy’s Glen View Elementary School, and Lourdes Robledo, of Morgan Hill’s San Martin Gwinn Elementary, will be honored as two of the county’s finest educators as recipients of the 2013 Teachers of the Year award.
The Santa Clara County Office of Education will honor the dedicated educators – including recipients of the Texas Instruments STEM Teaching Awards – during the 44th annual Teacher Recognition Celebration Sept. 26 at the Heritage Theatre in Campbell.
The SCCOE produces the annual gala with the support of community partners Texas Instruments, Santa Clara County Federal Credit Union and the San Jose Mercury News. A fine tradition enduring more than 40 years, the Teacher Recognition Celebration is the oldest and largest celebration of teachers in California, and the most prestigious local award given to classroom teachers.
