Tulare County Excellence in Education

Since 1995, the Excellence in Education Awards in Tulare County have honored public-school employees who go above and beyond for students.

In partnership with the Tulare County Office of Education and Tulare County Superintendent of Schools, EECU proudly recognizes outstanding individuals in three categories: Administrator/Manager of the Year, Teacher of the Year, and School Employee of the Year.

Each award winner receives a sculpture titled “The Graduate,” designed by the late sculptor Clement Renzi and based on his larger piece “Graduation Day.” Winners, finalists, and nominees are honored at a breakfast and awards ceremony held at the Visalia Convention Center, which is sponsored by EECU.
