Today we are proud to celebrate our Teachers of the Year across Empire Union School District!

Each year, school principals select a teacher who exemplifies dedication, compassion, and a deep commitment to their students and school community. While we are fortunate to have many outstanding educators across our district, these teachers were selected by their principals in recognition of the impact they make each day. These educators go above and beyond every day to inspire curiosity, support their students, and create classrooms where every child can thrive.

Please join us in congratulating this year’s incredible Teachers of the Year. Your passion, care, and hard work truly make a difference in the lives of our students and families. We are so grateful for you!

Congratulations to our Teachers of the Year:

Jose Robles, Empire Elementary 
Jamey Olney, Glick Middle School
Janna Craft, Capistrano Elementary 
Kimberly Rivera, Hughes Elementary 
Michael Flaviano Reynolds, Sipherd Elementary 
Lindsay Nguyen, Stroud Elementary
