OUSD'S "EMPLOYEES OF THE YEAR"
In addition to honoring our Education Heroes, we support the Ojai Unified School District's annual recognition of their Educators / Faculty of the Year (Certified Employee) and Staff Members of the Year (Classified Employee).
Teachers receiving the Educator of the Year award are selected by their peers for going beyond the call of duty by inspiring students with enthusiasm, creativity and love of teaching.
The district's Staff Members of the Year recognize School District classified staff employees who go the "Extra Mile."
Awards are presented by the Ojai Unified School District along with OEF Board Members during a special ceremony at OUSD's June Board meeting. Go to OUSD Awards for a full list of recent recipients.
