ACSA Region 7 held its annual Classified Educational Leaders (CEL) Dinner at the DoubleTree in Modesto. It was an incredible night that broke an all-time attendance record with 960 school administrators and classified staff joining together to celebrate the amazing contributions of our classified teams — the true backbone of education.

This year, the districts brought their A-game with the district shoutout — pom poms, balloons and noise makers — creating an unforgettable atmosphere of support and camaraderie. The evening’s guest speaker was comedian Mack Dryden, who had attendees all laughing and inspired.
