Each year the San Benito County Office Board of Education and San Benito County Superintendent of Schools recognizes classified and certificated staff that are nominated by each district for the annual San Benito County Classified and Certificated Employees of the Year celebration. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the San Benito County Office of Education (SBCOE) was unable to host the in-person celebration. Each employee received a plaque from the SBCOE, a certificate of recognition from the San Benito County Board of Supervisors and a special California State Legislature Certificate of Recognition from Assemblymember Robert Rivas and Senator Anna Caballero. We are grateful for the dedication, hard work and passion that each employee exhibits every day. We thank you for making a difference for our students across San Benito County.
