Two charters in Region 7 recently honored students at their Every Student Succeeding events.

The Tuolumne County Association of California School Administrators celebrated 18 remarkable students from across the county at their annual event recognizing students.

The Every Student Succeeding event organized by the ACSA San Joaquin Charter in partnership with the San Joaquin County Office of Education, brought together 13 outstanding students from eight different school districts across the county.

Each charter in Region 7 honors students in the region’s five counties — Amador, Calaveras, San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Tuolumne. One student is selected from each charter to go on to the Region 7 level. The Region Scholarship Committee reviews the nominations and selects the student to represent Region 7 at the Leadership Summit in November.
