And the Winners of the Sixth Annual Golden Dot Awards Are…
On May 5, 2018, eight Golden Dot Awards were given to staff who exemplify Green Dot Public Schools’ core values.
The Golden Dot Awards highlighted educators and staff who demonstrate exceptional teaching, school leadership and support for our schools.
The night’s awardees were selected from our more than 1,500 inspiring teachers, staff and administrators who serve Green Dot’s 13,800 students across California, Tennessee and Washington State.
A special thank you to our generous event sponsors and the individuals who made The Sixth Annual Golden Dot Awards a success! The night would not have been made possible without the generosity and support of our title sponsor, the Oscar De La Hoya Foundation. We were honored to have world champion boxer Oscar De La Hoya speak at the event.
