SCOE employees honored

01/01/2016 - Welcome BackSCOE held its 20016-17 Back-to-School event on Monday, August 15. The event featured an inspiring talk by Maria Romero, a 2014 graduate of Alt Ed's Teen Parent Program, about how the program helped her overcome a series of enormous obstacles to become a successful mother and SRJC student.

And, as is our tradition, we began the school year by recognizing exemplary employees and colleagues. That included Golden Bell and District Service award winners as well as those who have reached landmark years of services. Here is the list of employees recognized this year. Congratulations and thank you for your hard work!
