Fresno County Educator of the Year

Since 1991, the partnership between the Fresno County Office of Education and EECU has celebrated the exceptional educators and school staff whose passion, dedication, and leadership make a difference in the lives of students. 

Anchored by a commissioned sculpture by the late artist Clement Renzi titled “The Three Rs,” this annual recognition program shines a spotlight on those who go above and beyond in service of education. 

Winners are selected from among the teachers, classified employees, and administrators across the 34 school districts in Fresno County. Each year, honorees receive a personalized Renzi sculpture and are recognized at a formal awards ceremony hosted at the William Saroyan Theater, which is sponsored by EECU.
