The Legacy of Excellence is an exciting and festive celebration, honoring the very best in education across our district! This gala-themed luncheon shines a spotlight on each school’s top Teachers and Professionals of the Year, as well as the business and community partners whose outstanding contributions have fueled student success.

Featuring inspiring performances by our talented student musicians, this prestigious event is the highpoint of recognition for our educators and partners. With over 1,000 school, business, and community leaders in attendance, the Legacy of Excellence luncheon is a truly remarkable occasion—uniting our community in support of education and celebrating the incredible impact we make together for our students.

Our event was a HUGE success!
