ABOUT THE CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR PROGRAM
ABOUT THE CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR PROGRAM
Each year, San Diego Unified honors its classified employees during Classified School Employees Week, which is designated by the California Legislature each May. San Diego Unified has honored its classified employees every year since 1983.
The Classified School Employees of the Year (CEOY) Program highlights contributions of classified school employees who support the education of San Diego Unified's more than 100,000 public school students from preschool through grade twelve. The CEOY Program pays tribute to the tireless efforts of our district's outstanding classified school employees. From school bus drivers to cafeteria workers to instructional aides, these employees are the unsung heroes who play key roles in creating a school environment that contributes to the whole child by promoting student achievement, safety, and health. San Diego Unified's Classified Employees of the Year are recognized at a special award ceremony during Classified School Employee Week, the third full week of May each year.
